    Diesel fuel filter for oil bypass filter?

    I didn't say everybody was...there is definitely more than one... Perhaps you have no idea how a fuel filter will perform because you've never tried it or heard of anyone else trying it? Could it be?! If you've never tried Coca-Cola you can't tell people it tastes either good or bad, can you?

    Diesel fuel filter for oil bypass filter?

    I would really like to put a bypass filter on my truck but I'm not remotely interested in a $60-80 filter element from Amsoil or others. Recently, I've seen some suggestions on using a diesel fuel filter as an oil bypass filter. There is even a guy all over ebay selling kits (for about 10 times...
