Below is a link to a study done some buses and Tahoes for government use, so there is apparently a unit small enough for the 1/2 ton market (the Tahoe filter is mounted in the engine comparment near the passenger firewall). http://avt.inel.gov/pdf/oilbypass/oilbypassfinalreport.pdf I...

The filter isn't acutally designed to filter the fuel from the motor oil. It uses a heated element at the bottom of the canister to heat the oil to 200F, theoretically flashing off most/all of the fuel in the oil (much the way oil distillation works) and venting to the outside.

I have a bypass filter on my 2003 VW TDI diesel and it was a relatively cheap, easy addition (Dieselgeek setup that uses Amsoil filter). After reading issues of the F150 Ecoboost and fuel dilution (as I am considering this as my next vehicle purchase), I was thinking if a bypass filter would...

The car is my wife's daily driver. See's predominately short trips of 3-12 miles (grocery store, park, playground, etc) and was used for a couple of longer trips over the past 10 months (Florida vacation, North Carolina hospital). We are in Douglasville, GA outside of Atlanta.

Just got my second oil analysis back from Oil Analyzers. As indicated in the subject, the oil is Mobil 1 Extended Performance 5W-30 and was not changed this time. I have not added the bypass filtration and still am up in the air as to its value in this application. Any feedback is greatly...

it's been in my Atlanta area GA basement, definitely dark but not climate controlled.

I have 2 partial jugs (total about 1 gallon) of Mobil Delvac 1 purchased in November 2009 (open for 10-15 months) that have a noticeable different color from a recently purchased gallon. It has gone from a light amber to darker, thought not black at all (you can still see light through it). Is...

This is the family car. Trips to grocery store are short (6 mi roundtrip) and typically 2 per week at most. Otherwise, it goes 25-70 mile roundtrips and on vacations and typically mileage is around 500 miles every two weeks.

The new oil (M1 5W-30 EP) is indeed API SN.

I will likely go to one year OCI, unless my wife exceeds 14k miles in one year.

yep, plain old M1 on this one, refilled with M1 Extended Performance

1st oil analysis on my used 2003 Suburban. This oil was changed and Mobil 1 Extended Performance was used. I have run a Amsoil bypass on my diesel VW and was thinking of adding one to this vehicle as well. Html: Iron 14 Chromium 0 Nickel 0 Aluminum 1 Copper 18...
