Extended Engine Oil Life! Oil Filter Bypass System!

[@CrazyPetez]

I’m just an amateur DYI guy, but I think you’d be better off with the original setup, instead of relocating the filters to the outside of the frame. Lots of work for little,gain, AND the risk is a massive oil leak with those rubber hoses added to the system. You’re the pro, and know what’s best, but I don’t likethose rubber hoses snaking over the frame. Also, why doesn’t anybody use line wrenches on fittings anymore. Simple open end wrenches can slip and round the hex corners of fittings.

[@RainmanRaysRepairs]

I get it, I didn’t want to put it there either 🤷‍♂️. I think the setup is fine and I have little issue with the system as a whole. I can say that I have a similar filter system for my fuel filters and lift pump on my personal truck and it’s not being damaged by road gravel. It’s also located outside of the frame. I’m considering unbolting the oil filters and just welding the brackets to the frame to raise it up higher. I want two more inches

Plenty of vehicles with similar hoses. As for line wrenches, I've seen tests that show quality open end wrenches are less likely to round nuts than line wrenches. Line wrenches tend to be thin and flex. The thick jaws on open end wrenches don't flex as much. Torque Test Channel has done a few videos on wrenches including line wrenches. The result will probably surprise you.

Take this from somebody who has not only worked on vehicles since the early sixties but also did 40 Years of sheet metal. Turn that bracket over and mount the bracket with the table down against the frame first and then Mount the oil filter manifold to it and that will give you an extra three or four inches of space up against the frame. You also need to make sure that you put a deflector on that so that stuff coming off of the tires is not beating the hell out of the oil filters. You get a dent in those and you can easily get a pressure leak.

[@Captain4life3]

Can I add possible tack on each side bit by bit until solid. but yes adding too much to one side will cause distortion in the metal. AND clean the area before tacking, losts of contamination in the weld.

I would think a short vocational class on welding would be a great asset to your repairs. Welding only one side of the bracket leaves it for failure.

I would have put some Poly-loom on the outside of those hoses before the zip-ties. I also would have sprayed the fittings with some sort of heavy duty metal protector like the one Amsoil makes to keep them from rusting as bad as the previous ones. Making future service easier. Plus the left over piece of that bracket on the other side of the filter mount had 2 holes. You could install a nice shield in front of the filters that wraps around the bottom to protect from road debris hitting the filters at some point, but still make it easily removeable for the yearly change. Just an "extra" thought, if it were my truck. I also would have done a "Clear Flood Mode" to prime the oil system instead of doing that sort of "dry start"

A previously things with even the stock filters, I've removed them and only 3/4 full, like some oil was pulled back into the block. I suspect it was an air bubble going through the system.
