question about oil bypass filters

Anyone running one, and can they lengthen the oil change interval? I know our injectors beat up the oil pretty good, but I've been thinking about adding one if it'll help the engine last longer

I built mine using Pop's bypass filter setup in a different location.

You will find the oil does stay much cleaner than without it. I use Blackstone Labs to check my oil and they recommend running longer intervals with the data they are tracking.

Here is the article I did on my setup.

Thanks everyone for the links. I remeber seeing Pop's write up, and I might even have it printed out somewhere, but never got around to doing it. I was more kinda wondering what results everyone has had, but looking at Marv's OA from Blackstone (they do mine every 10k) and his are all about 15-17k, with no adverse results, hell I'll do this and even if I change it every 10k, it'll pay for it self in two oil changes!

I gotta bunch of fitting from my home made regulated return and other projects (always order more than I need) so I ordered the base, 3 filters, and the 3 different fittings, but I'll make the hose myself to save a few bucks. Thnaks for the awesome write up Ken!

Thats what i'm talking about. Convinced the wife, it would pay or itself, showing her Pop's oil intervals. Jumped on Fleetfilter.coms' site, and rdered me up a few items...

There is no question that cleaner oil will provide better lubrication for the engine, which in turn will increase your engine life. Even if the oil change interval stayed the same, it is absolutely worth it.

Do it, and don't look back!

I used Marv's setup but added some clear vinyl tubing over the stainless lines. Since my lines routed right over a wiring bundle, I didn't want it sawing through and shorting things out. I think the vinyl gives it a bit more of a finished look, but mainly did it to protect my wiring.
