9,886 miles on sample. 89,214 on truck. Oil and full flow filter changed. Amsoil bypass is also installed on truck, but bypass filter wasn't changed. Main reason I changed oil was because I needed to install a fumoto.

Would really love to find one that he's converted over to handle hot oil.

What's going on there Dave?! Yep, a typical ho-hum nothing wrong DMax UOA. I was really excited to see the results from this UOA since it's been such a long time that I've sampled. By the way, what's the TBN of a virgin sample of Rotella T6? Was curious to gauge that against my current TBN...

Originally Posted By: Danno What's with the high copper reading from sample 6 ? No idea. Was four years ago, and was my lone sample to ever have a high Cu reading.

Anyone know where I can order the Frantz square round o ring in bulk? I sent McMaster Carr one of my Frantz o rings to match up and they stated there wasn't a match for it. By the way, McMaster Carr is a pain to deal with. They lost my first o ring I sent to them, and it took them three weeks to...

Originally Posted By: dnewton3 LateArrival ... As I recall, you first had an Amsoil and then an OilGuard, rigth? How do you like this set up versus the other two you were using? Did you change to this to go back to less expensive element changes? What FCI are you setting for the t/p? I like...

I wished I never would have sold my old Ralph Wood Motor Guard. I liked the design on it better. I kick myself every day for selling it years ago. Now, I can't find one anywhere.

Originally Posted By: Kool1 That is easy access. When you replace the filter element will you be able to catch the old oil as you remove the canister? The oil drains back into the oil pan at shutoff. There's zero mess this way, which is why I installed it where I did and why I return to the oil...

I'm getting my pressure from the oil galley, and returning to my oil pan via a hollow bolt. I welded a bracket up and it's mounted to the side of the condenser. There are already two tapped and threaded holes there that I used to mount the bracket to.

Why would it matter if the restrictor orifice was installed on the "in" or "out" port? Frantz recommends installing it on the inlet port, but every bypass I've seen has the restrictor orifice on the outlet port. I will be installing my Frantz tomorrow, and would prefer for the restrictor to be...

Originally Posted By: RoadTrain That's nice!!! Looks like my Jeep install...Return to filler cap? Hollow bolt? Spill the beans... Yep, return to oil pan via hollow bolt. I have my stainless braided lines routed and everything is ready. I'm just waiting on the UPS man to get here with the Frantz...

Got the bracket made. I utilized the two unused tapped threads as seen in the picture to secure my welded bracket. The Frantz filter bracket bolts to the welded bracket. I'll have everything finished up by Monday, hopefully.

Originally Posted By: dnewton3 Hey Arka - long time no hear! My BP has the older latch type lock; not familiar with the new threaded type. Wait a minute....did you finally succumb to bypass fever? I'll have pics posted hopefully by the middle of next week on an underhood Frantz install on my...
