Join Bill Butler, President of Oil Filtration Solutions, for this insightful interview with Glen Best a fish harvester, one of his very first customers, who shares his 20-year journey from being a complete skeptic to a firm believer. In this candid discussion, Glen shares his incredible real-world results on how this technology saved him from costly $100,000+ rebuilds, drastically reduced his downtime, and extended the life of his engines and transmissions far beyond manufacturer recommendations.
Learn how he achieved:
Extending engine oil changes from 250 to 1,200 hours
Running a transmission for 4,500 hours on the same oil (and it was still good)
Clocking nearly 70,000 hours on a transmission without a rebuild
Saving over $100,000 on an engine rebuild thanks to pristine components
This is a must-watch for any fleet owner or heavy equipment operator looking to drastically cut maintenance costs, reduce downtime, and protect their most valuable assets. Bill first approached Glen in 2003. Now, over 20 years later, Glen is "living proof" of how bypass oil filtration has transformed his operation.
