TP filters were all the rage with who? My skepticism kicked in so I did a browse. Humm. So after Googling here is what I found:

When I was a kid in High School, 65', 66', in a dry farming area of eastern Washington, they had them on tractors, combines, trucks and cars.* I worked in a service station after school and I had to change out, not the oil, just these toilet paper filters on cars that came in.*
They were kind of messy if you weren't careful and you had to peal off some layers of the toilet paper role to make the new role fit the canister just right. The station owner kept a case of industrial toilet paper just for that purpose.* You changed out the paper role*and added one quart of oil.* That was all there was to it??* One time we ran out and we went into the men's room and took the one out*of there
By the time*I graduated from college, and went to work for*Union Oil Co,*TP Filters were a thing of the past and the company frowned on any TBA, automotive parts, additives or add on filters, that we didn't Market.* Things like this were considered "Snake Oil" by the company.* We didn't market any additives and the company line was, "Our products are*formulated to*meet and exceed the highest standards of the automotive industry and no additives are necessary, nor do we*recommend there use*with any of our products."
The first I heard about them since then was on this forum several months ago.
