Oil bypass question

[MN2500HD]

Is there any real benefit to doing a bypass filter system?

Only if you plan to run extended drain intervals. By that I mean a whole routine of sending in samples to determine the intervals for your vehicle and driving habits. Some just do it for the extra peace of mind but I am not convinced it is needed for normal drain intervals since there are many trucks that have made it to 500k miles without the need of one. Mine has 315k and I do 7500 mile oil changes.

Appreciate that.

I have the Amzoil system on my truck and love it. I do once a year oil change which is around 15k miles using Shaffers oil.

Nate, do you analyze the oil or just change by age or mileage?

I just go by age. Never did an analysis. Just had the heads off and all looked great.

No other then if it makes you feel better. The Dmax is extremely easy on oil. Might think about it if your putting 100k+ miles a year just to save down time by not changing the oil as often. Back up by Analysis I was able to run dino oil 16,000 miles without issues.
