I'm running a Motor Guard TP bypass filter on my 2004 Dodge Cummins and it seems to control the soot very well. I know the 6.7L Cummins is a bit of a different beast than my 5.9L but it should at least give you an idea. Here is UOA on my truck...

dnewton3: You make a very compelling argument. If I were to do this over I would be tempted to try it with a conventional oil. I will probably stick with the Rotella Synthetic though simply because its what I use in all my other vehicles (which I am not using a bypass filters in) and the...

The system capacity is about 13 qts. At the interval at which I replace oil its going to take about 100K miles for the oil to "mature", at which point the average age of the oil will be around 30K miles and it will no longer increase. 30K seems like a lot of miles to put on dino oil, which is...

The full flow is the Fleetguard Stratopore filter, don't remember which model number. I've looked at the media on one and didn't really see anything of interest, 'course I don't really know what I should or shouldn't be able to see on it. The reason I still change the FF at 10K is because its...

So here is what I've got after 20K on the oil. ALUMINUM 2 CHROMIUM 1 IRON 13 COPPER 2 LEAD 2 TIN 0 MOLYBDENUM 3 NICKEL 0 MANGANESE 0 SILVER 1 TITANIUM 0 POTASSIUM 2 BORON 4 SILICON 3 SODIUM 1 CALCIUM 3303 MAGNESIUM 9 PHOSPHORUS 1161 ZINC 1492 BARIUM 0 SUS Viscosity @ 210°F 70.3 cSt Viscosity @...

I've got a .458 SOCOM. Its definitely the most fun firearm I own (and I own more than a few). Before I got it I was having the same dilemma as to which caliber to choose. I decided to go with the SOCOM at the time since it doesn't require special magazines, is theoretically more accurate...

Yeah I know the K&N is probably not the best thing as far as filtration goes. However its what I got and its paid for so I'm probably going to stick with it for a while. My truck pretty much gets only freeway miles so dust shouldn't be too much of an issue. I'm going to keep an eye on my silicon...

Actually my mileage module is the Quadzilla one. I don't know why I was thinking it was the Edge one.

The engine is pretty much all stock, only thing I've done is put on an Edge Mileage Max Module (which I've been pretty pleased with BTW), and the oil and coolant bypass filters. I just recently put on a 2-micron fuel filter after hearing about people loosing injectors and pumps to dirty fuel...

Yeah its CI-4+. I stocked up at Walmart earlier this year so I'm set for a while. The 3.5 quarts of make-up oil are because I'm using a Motor Guard bypass filter. I change it out every 3K and add a little over 1 qt. of make-up oil to replace what came out with the filter. Its definitely not...

Here is my Blackstone analysis with 10k on the oil and 125k on the engine. Planning on keeping this oil in there until UOA says otherwise. MI/HR on Oil 10,062 MI/HR on Unit 125,015 Make Up Oil Added 3.5 qts ALUMINUM 1 CHROMIUM 0 IRON 10 COPPER 2 LEAD 0 TIN 0 MOLYBDENUM 0 NICKEL 0 SILVER 0...
