Bypass oil filter

[Lunge Motorsport]

I made this after researching a bypass system for the Cummins. Credit to a Youtube fellow who was marketing his own kit, I liked his idea and made my own. His mounting location has been trouble free for 15k miles so far. Amsoil also makes a kit however the fittings have the rough brass plumbing appearance so I used their housing and his idea and made a bracket, but did not use their complete kit. Russell fittings and hose and an Ebay filler cap. I had to take the fitting out of the cap and replace the o ring as it was jacked up when I received it. Oil pressure is 51 psi at cruise

Bypass filtering removes more contaminants from the oil. They only filter some of the oil and typically have a restrictor in the oil line or the filter so the oil flows slower through the filter than the factory oil filter does.

Whether they are worth it or not is for the user to decide.

I had on on my old 6.5 TD in a 97 GMC I don’t know if made a difference or not.

The simple answer is oil filtration at 2 micron advertised.

This guy is doing a series on diesel oil filtration. Worth a watch if you haven't already. He also has a bunch of other topics as well. www.youtube.com/@freedomworx
