oil filter bypass
I was on Ebay and I came across an Oil Filter bypass unit, it claims to really improve the maintenance on the 6 liter as far as oil changes, just wondering if anyone out there has any experience with them?

It's not going to make your oil change intervals longer though. It's not the filter that's the problem in a 6.0, it's the oil shearing that the engine does.

Times 2 on Tim's reply. In the long run the oil changes would probably also be cheaper.

That Looks spendy for a only Filter
You could probably piece one together for 1/2 that price for just a Bypass filter
Looks like it just pulls oil from the filter housing filters and dumps into the Oil filler tube

I thought it was some new High tech deal at First with Both Filters the way they was and the Price
Had to Zoom in on the lines and I realized one was coolant
IDK what Micron filter it was I suppose a guy could find one that was Less then the 19 or 20 micron that's on it Stock
The link I posted IIRC said filtered down to less then 1 micron If it really does IDK
But looking at the Oil Sample how much cleaner it was as long as the test wasn't a FAKE I think that thing could help injector Spools out alot

The Nuc system is pretty good and by the time you buy all the parts you are getting close to the price of that. it uses a Amsoil filter that goes down to 1 micron you can also by them with or without the coolant filter. have seen them down as low as $289.00
I am not recommending running longer oil change intervals but cleaner oil is still a good thing.

I wouldn't say that. It's not essential, but it's a great addition. Like the others say, the 6.0 shears oil system like nothing else. Oil quality as in all engines is especially crucial to the 6.0 due to our injection system. FWIW I built my own Amsoil bypass setup for a little over $200, so it can be done cheaper.
