Amsoil BP 100 Bypass oil filter and EAO 80 Full flow oil filter cut open

[@robleo69]

Been using Amsoil lubricants in everything I own since 1975. It is the last word superior lubrication period.

[@daleyaeger298]

I also used the Amsoil top-tier synthetic oil, the Amsoil spin-on (full flow) filter, Amsoil By-pass filter and did an annual oil analysis. After the first sample, I was told that the oil was breaking down and I had late ignition timing or a faulty pollution control device. I asked how it was possible on a new car without codes on the computer or a decrease in performance or fuel economy. After checking it out, I found out the O2 sensor had gone out. I replaced the sensor and oil filters leaving the rest of the oil in the engine. After 6,000 miles I had the oil analyzed again and everything was OK. Each year the oil analysis said the engine and the oil was OK. The car went 170,000 miles and 9 1/2 years without an oil change! The extended oil change interval with Amsoil products is great. But the real value is knowing the true condition of the engine and of the oil. Too bad the new owner's teenage son wrecked the car. When the oil is kept "analytically" clean, there isn't anything in the crankcase to help wear out the engine. My Toyota Tacoma with an Amsoil By-pass system had to have it's oil changed at only 30,000 miles. But then each engine is different as well as the driving conditions that we put the vehicle through. I have saved a lot of money with Amsoil over the years but then, not everyone keeps their vehicles as long as I do. My 2004 Prius has over 220,000 miles on it and my wife and I still fight over which one will get to drive it each day. And like Mike Vaughn says, everyone is free to do their own thing with their vehicles. Good luck and pass on your own stories.

[@jamestan6081]

U use full flow and bypass on ur prius too??

[@daleyaeger298]

@@jamestan6081 Big trucks normally use oil analysis. The idea of not "allowing" an engine to wear out (for an individual that plans to keep his vehicle) is the reason I went with the by-pass filter system. I would love to put the Amsoil filter system on my 2018 Prius Prime. But, in fact, most cars don't have the room under the hood and most everything underneath has plastic panels to help air flow. I wish there was a filter to combine in one housing the full flow concept and the slow deep filter ability of a by-pass filter.

[@cambrian7119]

Hi; I've been doing what you do for many years. First on my 96 2500, and for the last 6 years on my 08 6.7 Cummins. My truck is used almost exclusively for towing our rv trailer all over the US. It's the best thing for a diesel to be challenged with some weight consistently. The lab always gives me high marks in every category. I change my primary filter every 8k, and the bypass at 40 k. Every time That I change filters, I pour fresh oil into them though to keep my additive package consistentl. I once drove for a trucking company that went 240K on their oil with no ill effects doing filter and bypass filter changes only, so I wanted a piece of that. Michael

[@advancednutritioninc908]

Great Video! I have been using Amsoil in over 25 vehicles total since 1975 when I started using it. I have never had a major engine failure during that time. I have had several vehicles go over 200,000 miles and a few over 300,000 miles. I usually trade them or rebuild the engines because they have so many miles on them that the compression starts dropping, fuel mileage goes down, and they won't haul a load any more. So joke all you want about expensive oil or expensive filters or expensive testing ... but I think it's cheap when you don't have to tear engines apart and get valve jobs, oil pumps, lifters, head gaskets, done over again! :)

[@heavymechanic2]

I used a similar magnet inside a remote transmission filter base, and a washer type magnet on the filter threads, both magnets were covered with iron much like a magnefine filter. I'm not sure that magnets help in the engine filter, but Allison has one under their spin on Transmission filter on GM vehicles. I believe in having magnetic plugs on the differential and some type of magnet in any Automatic transmission.

[@jamesmcqueen2618]

Love the idea putting a plastic bag over the filter to remove it. Great idea. I think I will stick to changing my oil on a regular 4000 miles or less depends on how durty it looks.

[@rowdyreviews6530]

If you make a complete turn with the cutter before tightening it up a little it will prolong the cutting blade significantly and also keep it from being so hard to turn for ya. Not telling you what to do by any means just a helpful hint when using it. Shouldn't ever be to hard to turn when greasy really. Will have to make 10 or so turns around the filter but making small cuts is how it's designed to work. Make a complete turn tighten the cutter a little and another complete turn!! Really like your videos, highly educational and more people should tune in and watch! If you care about your vehicle which is very important being it's what takes you too and from and we depend on our vehicles to do everything really!! Everyone should care what's going on inside the engines, could save you so much money by catching a problem before it's catastrophic!!

[@MARIOINYRDAIRYO]

I ran amsoil in my 1980 BJ60 Landcruiser from approx 1984 to 2006 with the same oil and by -pass filter set up and it still ran fine....the body died before the engine did still ran the day I gave it away.

[@user-xk5so7wb2t]

The Magnets caught the very small particles around the .01 metal flakes. Yes the Mags work!

[@jcsaves9725]

Now that's preventive maintenance!

[@enzopianelli6081]

Take the pleats out and squeeze them in a vice and it will drain the oil from the pleats making you able to see any metallic objects in the mesh of the pleat medium. Just my two cents

[@AWIERD1]

After squeezing the filter in the vice if you carefully burn the filter media (if its glass media this doesn't work) you can put a magnet in a plastic bag and wave it over the ashes so you can see what metal was trapped.....

[@richardcarrara6078]

I've always squeezed with the vice but didn't think about the burn. Thanks

[@Colorado_Native]

I also cut open my oil filters. Try a piece of sandpaper instead of a rag, or both with the sandpaper touching the filter and the rag absorbing any small drlplets.

[@JayDee-bz2ge]

Nice... I've been running a BP110 on my 2001 7.3 power stroke forever... Used DELO 400 for the first 100K, then used Rotella T6... Wow, the synthetic made the HPOP injection come alive. My oil always looks (black) like your VW, but when doing valve cover gaskets I wiped the inside with a paper towel & HOLY CRAP, there was no black on the paper towel... Also, for any haters ... how about (only those running BY PASS oil filtration systems) deserve to be heard, all others can go buy some SLICK 50....

[@stevensevek6151]

That's the way it should be. The detergents in the oil are suppose to keep contaminants in suspension so they drain out with the old oil (or get caught by the filter) and therefore do not build-up in the engine.

[@GHuggins]

You happen to know when amsoil started making their bypass filters differently? May be having a crazy moment, but I swear cutting them open 20 yrs ago they had almost something that looked like brillo pads or sponges stacked in them to filter the oil down finely and didn't they filter better than the 2 microns they're rated for now? Maybe I'm just remembering something completely wrong or it's a different filter option?

[@robertnweeia7496]

I wonder if it's worth putting in a bypass filter on my 2003 CRV ?

[@saulrobles2150]

Great video, totally agree. I have a question, why do you swap the oil from 15w40 to 5w30?

[@9thGenAccord]

The Series 3000 is a little more robust and wanted to see how it improves the winter cold starts.

[@prevost8686]

The only upside to the emissions equipment on late model diesels is that it has forced oil manufacturers to greatly increase oil’s detergency, heat stability, and resistance to shear from fuel dilution. There are countless over the road trucks running 80k mile intervals with $12 a gallon Delo, Delvac, and Rotella. All using bypass filters and oil sampling of course. You honestly don’t have to pay boutique oil prices if you’re running a good bypass system. Magnetic filtration definitely work. Most expensive hydro systems and differentials have multiple magnets inside the cases.

[@chrishorst6993]

Like you said. You cut the filter open for peace of mind. And waste of money? You already own the cutter. I’d be cutting mine open as well if I owned a oil filter cutter. Great videos

[@5jjt]

What's it cost to have oil analysis? I would suspect it is more than an oil change.

[@mgsoils5676]

Why not put magnets on the bypass filter as well

[@fefifofob]

I wonder what would happen if the magnets were after the filter.

[@JeffRigney]

The bypass filter, I believe, would have definitely caught those small metal particles but how will we ever know? Can those be measured to see what size they are?

[@kurt5490]

That's the debate in all the other oil filter magnet videos. Flow vs filtration. What size are they? Do they tend to be oblong and can "needle" their way thru the filter media? Would their entrapment shorten the service life of the filter? Would their entrapment enhance the ability of the filter media to capture more smaller particles as the media plugs up? I find it interesting that the material the magnet captured is black, not metallic. Maybe some "by-catch" is taking place and it catching some sludge. Best place for all that is in the filter.

[@mikeleschber1316]

The reason you can go the extra miles before a oil change is needed, is the filters along with the oil and monitoring with samples. I remember when people call synthetic oil snake oil. Most people will not believe what you tell them if they have been told something else by someone else first. I have tried to educate many people in the advantage of Amsoil.

[@9thGenAccord]

UOA are NOT only to see the condition of the oil but to spot issues in engine wear BEFORE you would have any symptoms. You don't need to do them every time. Once you see how your engine runs on a particular oil and your driving style, then you could do them every so often. However most people would only change their oil once per years so that's only 50 cents per week and I am sure you can pony up for that.

[@TheMstwntdLMSV123]

@@9thGenAccord Thanks for the insight! I just switched to 15k mile oil changes on my friends Hyundai Elantra, whose oil I am starting to change. He used to take it to Walmart and went 6-7k miles on their cheapest package. I couldn't take that anymore. I might talk to him about doing a UOA on this first 15k mile interval to see if its OK with his extremely aggressive driving style (he drives stick and is always blasting it around at high engine RPM).

[@9thGenAccord]

Yes once you do a few OA then you will be able to get a sense of how a particular oil responds to that engine and driving style. I do know in my Dodge I could NOT get the oil to come back from the lab in poor condition. I had the Amsoil bypass filter on it and it always kept it clean.

[@429thunderjet2]

@@stevensevek6151 it is a BYPASS filter, meaning it takes a small amount of oil from an oil galley some where on the engine, usually from a tee under the oil pressure sender for instance and sends it to the bypass filter and where it is slowly and more completly filtered down to about a micron or two circulating the entire content of the engine oil in the crankcase through the bypass filter in about 10 minutes or so at highway speeds. So it offers no particular restriction to oil flow to the engine. You still use a full flow filter as well.

Is AMSOIL Series 3000 Diesel Oil Group 3 or Group 4?

[@9thGenAccord]

Group 4.

[@JT-qf4it]

Ha!

[@amazoidal]

Since the terms "Synthetic", "Full Synthetic" and "100% Synthetic" are merely marketing jibberish in the U.S., it's hard to know if any oil has APO or POE. We know that with gas engine oil in the U.S., only 4 brands are true synthetic: REDLINE, Royal Purple, AMSOIL Signature Series, and Joe Gibbs Racing, which is made by one of the previous 3. These are Group 4/5, with about even PAO and POE. But diesel oil is a mystery. In Germany and Japan, if the label has the word "Synthetic", it must be at least Group 4. German oils like Motul and Liqui-Moly have a bit more Ester. Group 5 esters are used in Jet engine bearings, which have no cooling systems. Group 3 would vaporize. Avoid the over-priced Group 3s like Castrol Edge, Pennzoil Platinum and Mobil 1. You are paying Group 4/5 prices for a Group 3. If you like group 3, buy the Warren syns like Amazon Basics, Costco Kirkland, MAG 1 and Walmart SuperTech. All the same. Rated SN+. On sale, Costco sells Kirkland for less than $3.00 a quart. If you want the real story on how they took synthetic out of synthetic oil, look up the November 2000 issue of Car and Driver. Article by Patrick Bedard: "All New Semantics for Synthetic Oil". By taking the synthetic base out, the oil companies reduced their cost by 50%. But you still pay a high price for Group 3. Mobil 1 Fanboys - you are being screwed. It's a big conspiracy.

The lab will tell you if the oil is losing viscosity, the TBN/TAN is depleted, if there is fuel dilution, if the contaminants & anti-wear additives are suitable for continued use. Any reputable fleet will use Oil Analysis to determine their maintenance practices and the cost is factored into their operating budget to avoid costly downtime due to repairs..
