i'm thinking about getting the amsoil oil bypass kit and i'm wondering if anyone else has installed this kit or has an opinion on it. also a part number for the kit or part numbers for the individual parts would be helpful. looks like i will have to piece it together myself depending on where i want to mount it. i want the single filter kit and i will mount it on the frame rail. it looks pretty simple, just a cap with fitting for the oil fill and the oil filter housing in the engine compartment and then run the lines down to the filter on the frame rail. any opinions on this? thanks.

 

I installed the kit back in the spring and have been happy with it so far. Can't help with part numbers, but someone at Amsoil should be able to advise. I mounted mine on the driver's frame. I had to get 10' additional hose to do this. A lot of people build a bracket to mount on the alternator mounts, but I couldn't because of my coolant filter. I just had an oil analysis done after ~4400 miles and everything came back well within spec.

I've had mine on board for some time now...On my third filter...change it every 15K or third oil change.

 

thanks, i've got that coolant filter kit as well so i'm going to have to mount my filter on the frame rail as well. so you needed about 18ft of line to do this? also did that valve by the out port on the filter come with the basic kit? should be an BMK21

 

I had to order the valve separately. I actually just looked at my order history and found all of the part #s. I already had the main kit, which is why it's not on this list. I do believe you have the correct part number though. I think it came with 8-10' of hose. I ordered 10 extra feet to be on the safe side, and I think I cut off a little over a foot on the final install.

Hope this helps.

thanks for this post, i just looked at your album and i think i'm going to mount mine behind the grille as well.

 

Another member asked about my NUC Motorsports/AMSOil bypass install, so here is a short video that may help someone else.

 

On these trucks, due to the HPOP system, I don't think I'd bother. My father has the Amsoil kit on his '06 and tried running a 10,000 MI interval and Blackstone's Lab report recommended to go down to a 7500 MI interval and retest. He runs T-6 full synthetic. The oil loses the viscosity on extended intervals.

Is there anyone that gets their oil tested running a bypass kit with better results?

 

These injectors just shear the oil viscosity modifier too much to do extended changes. If you want to add a bypass for hopefully slightly improving wear particle catching then fine. Single weight oil, probably fine.

This is what I collected and presented back in the TDS day. The 7.3L was much more extensive because you could extend out. As soon as the 6.0L data was examined, everyone backed away.

Page 37 has a graph showing how quickly oil gets sheared down to it's base stock.
