Some folks swear it cleans the oil journals and gets any varnish out. I'm reticent but willing as long as I don't kill my X. LOL.
Ha I have a friend who has owned many 4.6s and he removes the spark plugs and full them with with wd40 and lets it sit for a few days and then smokes up the neighborhood. He swears this cleans all of the carbon buildup and restores any lost power. Anyways, here is a link to. NEW Hengst oil filter housing. I haven't found anyone including myself willing to drop the $300 to test this theory out...
