Oil Bypass Kit?

[Gsxrgrizz]

I tried searching but oddly couldn’t find anything.

Do you have any thoughts on whether or not adding an Amsoil Bypass Kit for an extra filter is worth it?

I change the oil regularly (every 5000 K) and use Rotella synthetic 5/40.

Trucks have been entirely deleted and have a FASS System.

Thanks for your feedback!

Personally, if you change the oil every 5k, I wouldn’t waste the money on a bypass kit.

I run the Amsoil EaBP90 bypass oil filter and change my oil (T6) every 10,000 miles. I agree with watersupply189 if you change your oil every 5,000 miles then it’s not going to be cost effective. I guess you could replace the bypass filter every other oil change, but personally I don’t like the idea of adding fresh oil and then mixing it with a quart of dirty oil. I just like the extra filtration and the longer intervals, that could also be stretched out further with oil analysis.

I have a bypass filter on my truck, and I run the power-driven diesel 15w40 in my truck.

The advantage to this oil is the tremendous amount of ZDDP they put in it.

I replaced the regular filter at routine intervals and topped the system off with about a quart of new oil to replace the old filter.

I have not had to change the oil in quite a while.

I sent a sample to Blackstone, and they told me if the oil needed changing.

I have about 18,000 miles on this fill.

I haven't changed the bypass filter yet but have my reminder set to either 50,000 miles or one year, whatever comes first.

I check the flow coming out of the return periodically to make sure the flow is still strong, but these systems are such low flow anyway that the filter would have to be pretty clogged to slow it that much.

I can even tell a little bit of a visual difference in the oil.

Don't get me wrong, it is still black, but it isn't as deep of a black, if that makes sense.

It also doesn't stain my hands like it did before the bypass was installed.

Sounds good; one nice thing even if the bypass filter were to get plugged entirely, the system would default to the regular factory flow through the standard oil filter.

Not sure what bypass filter you are using, but I see a difference in the oil color, much lighter than before.

Once deleted - I have future plans on adding the Amsoil (Single Stage) by-pass kit & probably mounting it on the passenger side frame rail. - but - Not until deletion is taken place (Just too much soot being absorbed into the crankcase) - thus the reason for my short 5-7K mile OCI.

Thanks for all the replies and advice so far.

I appreciate it!

It sounds like, knowing that any additional filtration is a good thing, taking into account my regular short interval oil changes and the 900.00 it would cost installed, this may not be the best bang for the buck in the upgrade department.

Does anyone think I’m off base or missing something?

Absolutely and I agree, a great idea not to mount the filter to the engine.

Been there and done that, the 1/4” steel bracket only lasted about a month before metal fatigue broke it.

Frame rail mounting is the way to go.

I have the Sinister bypass kit.

It mounts to the motor, but that thing has been on there about a year now, and it still looks brand new.

You could install it yourself for half that cost, and it uses the same Amsoil filter.

It also has an extra output port to make into a sampling port if you want to do that.

It is only two lines and takes maybe an hour or two.

Thanks for that.

Maybe I’ll re-look into it then and, more importantly, try to find a YouTube video on the install.
