Engine oiling system
Does anyone know if there is a way to access the oil system on the pressure side of the pump? I'm used to seeing a plug or two on the side of semi-truck engines that allow access to the pressure side of the oil system for use with aftermarket filtering systems. I'm thinking of a way to take better care of the engine oil, thus allowing extended drain intervals with regular oil and regular filters, and still remove dirt and soot particles down to 1/10th of a micron.

I use the Oilguard bypass system which uses an aftermarket oil FILTER cap with fitting and returns the cleaned oil to a new oil FILLER cap. I think Oilguard claims to catch particles down to 1 micron. I've had excellent Blackstone results lately which I attribute to 5000 mile changes with synthetic oil, bypass filtration and liberal use of the high idle. I don't know why but after several samples with 1 to 2% fuel in oil my last sample was clean. A little good luck I guess!

that system looks good for 300 dollars and it looks like it can be mounted out of the way..i wonder how much oil pressure you loose due to the extra restriction..and from what i could find the oil filters for that by-pass are 60 bucks...so if you change your oil every 5k like i do which i use rotella 5w40 syn thats 50 dollars worth of oil plus a 15 dollar fram O/F and then 60 for the other O/F and then 44 for the Motorcraft F/F'S gets kinda pricey.....
