Researching further, it seems the most appropriate would be to install a rather low micron rated filter on a housing that has its own internal bypass valve.
Problem is, my keywording is terrible and I'm having difficulties finding such a housing. Does anyone have any resources? Trying to find...
So then the question becomes, what is the appropriate way to size a filter at a given micron rating? Or how would one determine the flow rate through the cooler?
So since the fluid is sucked first through the transmissions internal filter then passed through the cover, which is where a remote filter would be mounted. What's the point of it? Seems the fluid would be filtered before it gets filtered
I may or may not look into installing one. Want to see...

I take that back it did have mesh backing. Could stand to be a bit sturdier though. Filter buckled a...
Threebond, sparingly. I'm a firm believer that gaskets + prep work is king. Only place on my vehicle RTV exists is where absolutely needed; sealing the 2 halves of the front diff, and the 4 corners of my oil pan where the front+rear main covers meet the block.
'05 Tahoe, 5.3. 144k mi. Idle is fairly smooth with the occasional stumble? Vibration? That trends with the oxygen sensor info. From what I understand it's due to some variance between injectors. Doesn't bother me enough to justify the cost of replacing injectors with a more closely matched set...
Water and dawn. Lots of it. Probably going to have to drain/fill the thing half a dozen times to get rid of the oil then another half dozen to get the soap out.
From there, flush it with distilled water or leave it depending on how picky you are. Measure how much you remove during the final...

Both are 0W rated but that too will make little difference in Washington.
Is my cold different than...

Hadn't considered their 0w40 to be an option. Concern being that it's too thick for my application (high flow oil pump, cold starts down to...

I'm of the cynical opinion that more safety features create worse drivers. It breeds false confidence. Why bother paying attention when the car will do it...
