6.7PSD oil flow requirements.

[Sumboodie]

It's $500 to get new 3/4" hose and new compression fittings. I'm in it this far, it's only money...dang you Amsoil...dang you. If they would have put decent sized hoses with a kit that relocates the full flow...(edit - MOD)

Where are you going for hose?

I just got some 3/4" 3500psi hoses done, was about $80 for 6ft long with JIC ends.

I'm not. The kit is for sale. The oil pickup tube is 1.25". 3/4" hose is still a restriction, much less the silly little 1/2" Amsoil sent with it. It's a poorly designed kit for the 6.7. Perfect for a 3L diesel or a gas rig.
Hydrodyne in Waco wanted $480 for 3/4" hose and fittings anyway. That's more than the kit costs. If the pickup tube was 3/4" or smaller, I would have done it. The motor costs to much to put an ilengineered on it. Hard pass on it and Amsoil now.

Flat foot it and run it to 2,800rpms a dozen times. Think back to your youth and drag strips

Well if I do that I think to my 1965 Mustang with 289 where I did one too many sand start burnouts and snapped the output shaft of my 3 speed manual transmission.

There is zero need or real life benefit for a dual remote or bypass filter.

Besides extended oil change. I drive 40,000 miles a year. I'm sick of buying 3 gallons every 2 or 3 months.

Remember a bypass filter cannot help with fuel dilution.

He is is Alberta Canada. His Cummins could be deleted and put almost no fuel in the oil.

Are there postings in UOA ares for bypass filters.
I think I have come full circle on oil filter specifications (as some of you may know). To me I just can't see evidence in UOAs where micron rating of filters affects wear particles. And I even question whether wear metals over a long period of time contribute to shorter engine life. Much less using a bypass filter.

I have come to realize using a 40 wt oil doesnt lessen wear particles. Although I refuse to use a 20 wt oil.

I will say (obviously) the appearance of high wear numbers is a problem and signals something going wrong with the engine.

Their heart was in the right place but the engineers were snoozing on the BMK 28. 1/2" hose for a 6.7 diesel that flows 18-21gpm. Their guys said the system flows more than 10gpm. Is that 10 1 or what. That is half what the oem setup flows. How is that a good thing?
