Would a Frantz Filter work in "other" applications?

Was just looking at the thread showing clear differential covers and they did look kind of neat. Then I thought "wait a minute" if people see the gear oil in my diff they will probably steer clear for fear I'm gonna lock up right in front of 'em.

That was the intro..

I'm wondering if it is feasible to tap the differential for a quarter inch hose to feed a screen strainer, then a stock carter lift pump, through a Frantz filter and tap it back into the system - "safely". Since I'm not very savvy with diffs & gears someone might be able to suggest good pickup and return points.

Same goes for an NV5600. How feasible is it?
These types of oils get real dirrrty and stinnnky.

Would be kind of "slick" to be able to sub-micron clean these oils if only we can maintain the correct oil level while the pump is circulating.

Hey, sounds interesting to me.. If you can keep your gear lube longer, then you can justify using the "good stuff" - easier

Any yays or Nays, or better ways? (Anything for attention yunno?)

Now here... Use your imaginations, We want clean and happy gears.
