Amsoil Single Bypass Filter Install

Has anyone installed one of these on a truck in the last year or two? And if you did, where in the world did you install the mount for the new filter, I spent about 30 minutes under my 450, and I can't find a single good spot to mount the head for the bypass filter

If you don't plan to extend your oil change intervals, a bypass filter really doesn't provide any benefits. Having said that the ones that do install these kits typically bolt them on the frame behind the passenger tire.

I'm a belt and suspenders type of guy, and there's no such thing as too much filtration in my mind. These are a different style that relocate the factory filter.

.

This is the style I have. But, with a 10 year newer truck the locations are even worse.

Simply install on the frame behind the passenger tire.

I have ~244k reasons why extra filtration isn't required, but then again, I don't do extended oil change intervals. The problem is if you're running a bypass filter with the intent to get longer OCI's, these filters don't remove the diesel fuel from the oil, which is the main reason I don't do extended OCI's.

Cool, Fantastic, Great for you! I however, am going to install it because I want better soot removal from my oil at whatever OCI I choose to run. Now, once again if anyone with a truck from the same decade as mine has some insight on a location for the head due to the increasing lack of room with each passing model year.

Think you're overthinking this a bit, but hey, your money to waste.

Cool story, leveling kits and fuel treatment are stupid too. You don't see me bothering anyone about it, do you?

Mounted mine on one of the running board hangers (had to fab a bracket). I have the plastic superduty fillers between the running board and body so the filter is hidden.

Mount to the frame on the passenger side. I installed a Frantz filter on my truck. Soot makes sludge and I want to keep as much of it out of the oil as possible. The OE filter won't remove any soot. Fuel dilution is a real concern on the emissions trucks and will limit OCI.
