additives and filters . . .

just doing some thinking to myself and started thinking about additional filtration and the use of additives.

each has it's own list of benefits. BUT my question is - when running a 2 micron filter setup (of any sort) AND additive together - does the additive make it past the finer filtration of the 2 micron elements? or are we dumping in additive which never makes it past the filter . . .?

just some food for thought here. please chime in and give your input . . .

Well if the additive never made it through the filter you would be changing filters quite often, due to them not passing the additive.
