Originally Posted By: surfstar Eww. 20" and lightweight? I'm guessing its for a 1999 Trooper? Stick to what you have and save your cash. Bigger wheels are heavier. Lighter ones are expensive. You have a problem in that you want the opposite of each. Good luck in your search. But seriously...

Originally Posted By: AZjeff Diameter would be good to know... Right now I have stock 16" wheels. 15s are too small. I wouldn't mind going up in diameter if I found a good deal on the wheels or if the wheel is super light weight. I don't really want to go above a 20inch wheel and I'm not...

Hey guys, looking for some lightweight wheels. Bolt pattern 6x5.5 which is also 6x139.7 Need an offset close to "0" I'm looking for OEM lightweight wheels. I know GM makes some OEM forged aluminum wheels. I don't know about Toyota or anybody else that uses the bolt pattern. Anything out...

Okay so you can't purchase the top dog setup with the amsoil filters anymore. The kit now includes all the hoses, the adapter, and two Donaldson filters. The price is set at $240 and that includes shipping. The Donaldson filters are rated at 5 microns. I was told that Donaldson is just as good...

I was told that if the oil is filtered lowered than 5 microns that it will start to remove the oil additives that the manufacturers put in. Anybody know anything about this?

Originally Posted By: zpinch I have seen the TopDog before yes, don't know anyone who has installed one, however. Looks like a good unit, and you can use Amsoil bypass .... How much is it? I called them and got the following information. They no longer make their setup for amsoil filters...

I'm doing it to be green and save some oil. To be able to say my oil is filtered to "1 micron". Etc. Etc. I don't wanna spend as much as Amsoil wants. It looks like its at least 300. (287, plus adapter, plus filter) Does anyone know anything about the TopDog bypass setup? I saw a post about...

Hey guys, so I'm trying to install a bypass oil filter on my Trooper. I was thinking of doing the following. Let me know what you think. I was going to use something like this: http://www.jegs.com/i/Moroso/710/23693/1...CFcpZ7Aod1REATA and run a hose to this...

Originally Posted By: Bandito440 I don't think the bypass is going to help anything other than extended oil change intervals, which an oil burner isn't capable of anyway. First, are you absolutely sure that you're burning oil due to the poor design you're citing? Before throwing money at it...

Originally Posted By: dnewton3 Chock me up as a disbeliever; a BP unit isn't going to fix poor drain-back design. Are you sure it's an issue of poor drainback? If so, the presumption would be that there's a lot of sludge on top of the head? You might consider something such as an ester based...

Originally Posted By: kschachn Yeah that is wishful thinking, a non sequitur. If there indeed aren't enough drain back areas in the head (as there may not be for my 1MZ-FE), a different filter setup isn't going to help. Using a top shelf, highly heat stable and strongly oxidation-resistant oil...

Well there was a method to my madness. Granted I do not know a lot about how all these things work (which is why I'm on here and asking) I was told that shell rotella has a higher concentration of cleaning additives in it. I also spoke with a pennzoil guy and was told that bypass oil filters...

So I've got a stupid question. A lot of Isuzu Trooper owners run diesel oil (Shell Rotella) in their vehicles. They do this to slow down/prevent the way our engines burn oil. Right now I am currently running Pennzoil High Mileage. However, I have begun burning oil. I noticed about half a quart...

I don't think it should be too difficult to install one. The Amsoil setup looks like by far the easiest one to install. Is there one as easy to install as Amsoil that is a one micron filter?

Wow! I read that there's is down to 2microns. But there are other brands on there that are down to 1 micron. Are the other brands filters compatible with amsoils setup? If I'm paying the money I might as well get the best possible!

Hey guys looking to spend roughly 200 dollars on an oil bypass filter setup. What is the best bang for the buck. When I search for them on google, I only find Amsoil and Kleen. I've never heard of Kleen. But I always hear good things about Amsoil. I just want to make sure I'm getting the best...

Okay. What oil and oil filter should I be using on a 1999 Isuzu Trooper with 63,000 miles on it? The trooper 3.5v6 is notorious for burning oil. I read somewhere that synthetic is better for vehicles that burn oil, but I also read that it can cause leaks. I'm just trying to make the vehicle...

I'm in Texas. But weather here fluctuates quite a bit. It can be 31degress and then 80. Granted, during the summer it is always very very hot. I haven't done any maintenance on the engine yet. I am going to start next week. I was going to do an engine cleaner, my buddy told me to use...

Okay guys, I'm looking for a really good oil filter, the best micron count and the highest amount of flow. I just purchased a 99 Isuzu Trooper and as many of you know, they have issues with oil burning. I would like to get a reusable oil filter with the best micron level and the highest amount...
