How much of a difference does a bypass oil filter make in oil filtering and it motor oil endurance and quality? And can you fit a bypass oil filter, maybe one from Amsoil, into a small car? How hard is it to install?
I have occasionally thought about installing a bypass oil filter, but there is little space under the hood of a small car. It would increase the oil capacity and maybe the oil (I am currently using Schaeffer's) would last a long time.
Would a bypass oil filter make a big difference in vehicles that are suspected of being sludge monsters-like the Dodge Durrango and some Toyota cars and vans?
How much of a difference?

Usually it is not hard ,I had a 1988 4 cyl Toy. Camry I installed a bypass "Amsoil" under the battery looked real good ![[Razz]](images/icons/tongue.gif)
I ran it 3 years before realizing the long drain was not worth the cost. The oil stayed cleaner,what good is an ok motor in a worn out car?

Until someone who has done it can speak. I considered it when I was an Amsoil dealer but in the vast number of cars its a very cramped and diffficult installation.
Oil analysis indeed show lower wear metals. I'm not sure that translates in longer engine life. I doubt if anyone else knows also ![[Frown]](images/icons/frown.gif)
I doubt that it will affect tny sludge issues.
