I have a 92 Paseo with a 1.5L 5EFE engine, problems is that it only has a 3Qt Oil Capacity. I would like to put an external filter/bypass to add a qt or so of oil. Anyone have any experiece with the Toyota 1.5s? Where would be the best place to tap about 5% to route to the bypass?

Usually the oil pressure sending switch.
I have a 1.5 NZ1-FE with a bypass. I removed the sending unit and installed a splitter type fitting available at hardware stores. FYI, the bypass I have, OilGuard, adds squat to oil capacity. Might be beneficial just to add a reservoir with check valve to gain capacity.

Thanks
I'd spend the time and money on fresh oil changes instead.
why do you want more pressurized oil doin nothing when you infact are worried about your oil amount in the pan?
Get/ make or modify your oilpan instead.
Dont overfill due to windage. As an old racer i know theres alot to gain in good oil control, keeping windage down etc.
But keeping a quart of pressurized oil extra? ok maybe in a accusump or somthing.

ac - That's a good point. Without oil level control when the vehicle is turned off and drained down, there could be additional problems.
Why not just get a bigger oil filter and change at 3000? Or you could add a very big oil cooler and get it to 4 quarts.
