Which oil bypass filtration system is best?
 

I was looking at bypass systems and here are some of the ones I found:

Oilguard is a site sponsor and I've heard of FS2500 and Amsoil. Someone was working with Racor I think(Blackhat maybe?) but I didn't see that they had a system out yet. Both the Oilguard and Puradyn systems claim filtration down to 1 micron and I like the looks of the Oilgurad components but want it for function, not looks. I will probably be getting one of these systems for Christmas and appreciate any input. Thanks in advance for your input.

I have a FS2500 and I love it. The filters are a little pricey though at $26 or so. That is my main point to you. Check into all the aspects of owing it as far as costs go. Replacement Oil Guard filters, I think, are cheap at about $11 last time I saw. But they are just simple cotton string wound filters. The last point to make is that they all are good at what they do. They will get the job done in one way or another to varying degrees. Having one is the most important thing. Period. Unless you are the typical trader every so often.

My used oil analysis reports have been excellent with my Oilguard. Their filters used to be $11 but went way up, I think $20 or $30 something.

My oil reports are looking good also. Like Scafes said, Having one is the most important thing. Period.

It was not me, it was BBC, and he is no longer around here. But the Racor units and Oilguard are basically identical. Baldwin put a kit together for BBC to let him try it out and report back to them. BBC indicated it worked great but the Oilguard was basically the same unit and much easier to obtain. The most common bypass system used on FTE is the Oilguard unit. It is a very good unit, well thought out installation and fairly priced.

Thanks everyone for your input, I was leaning towards the Oilguard unit. One other thing, I'm looking for a place to put a temp probe for oil. Plenty of folks said to get a billet oil filter cap that is already tapped but if I get the Oilguard system that is out the window. From the looks of it I think a tee could be placed between the hose and the swivel fitting on top of the cap and the probe installed there. Does that sound reasonable? The other options would be in the drain plug or drill and tap another hole in the cap.

Unless the setup has changed, there are no swivel fittings that come with the oilguard system.

Yes you can install a T & swivel fittings. The swivel makes the oil filter change much easier as well.

My mistake, it's a swivel hose end not a swivel fitting on the cap. I knew there had to be some way of removing the cap besides twisting the hose like a pretzel...
