An old mechanic once told me that “oil is cheap”. What he meant by that is that in the scheme of things, when it comes to spending money on vehicle maintenance, even good quality oil is one of the cheaper things you’ll put towards the maintenance costs. I’ve always remembered this and generally over-change the oil and filters as cheap insurance against wear and failure.

Another tip for seeing cleanliness of oil. Get yourself some blank business card stock. They are the perfect size. Take a small oil sample, use an eye dropper and place 2 drops of oil in the center of the card. Let it sit for 5-6 hours. The oil will disperse showing particulates. Shine a light from back to enhance the inmage. I use a small black light, similar to what they use for detecting AC refrigerant. It will show fuel dilution as a light ring around the outer edge. Ive using this for years. In the oil testing arena, its called radial chromatography.

Simply going by visual oil cleanliness is so stupid I can't even comprehend it. The appearance of the old is only variable. There are addives(molecules) that break down in the oil when exposed to heat. The look of the oil cannot indicate this. If u are getting sample analysis, ok maybe I would take it back, but still.

I installed that kit on my 2015 F350 Power Stroke when truck was new. One thing I didn't hear you mention is fuel dilution from cold stars & regens. That may be the limiting factor on your oil life.

[@freedomworx]

I'll have to discuss that in one of the upcoming video. But what you have to realize is, the fuel evaporates out of the oil under normal operation. There is always a minute amount of fuel getting in your oil like you mentioned, but it normally evaporates out as fast as it contaminates the oil. That's why a very small amount of fuel dilution is acceptable and normal when you do a used oil analysis. If it gets above that low threshold, it indicates abnormal in-leakage from a worn or failed component.

[@cousinfester4621]

Ditto for the additive package. The oil is going to "wear out." I used one of these in my car years ago - having the oil tested every year. I was using AMSOIL's best oil. It appreared that I could get one more year of use from my oil and no more. AMSOIL re-iterated in no uncertain words that I must change my oil at 20,000 miles or less.

[@freedomworx]

We’ll see 😎

[@dickJohnsonpeter]

I'd say heat, friction, and time will cause degradation of the oil and especially the additives as well. I can see it work for high mileage driving to lengthen oil change intervals though.

[@rodgraff1782]

Don’t try extended oil changes on a HUEI injection system like the ford 6 liter, even if you have bypass oil filtration. The high pressure oil system, which runs at thousands of pounds of pressure, will shear the oil (cut the viscosity) in short order. This is because most Diesel and automotive oil is not hydraulic rated, and not designed to run at such a high pressure. I have the 6 liter, and Amsoil bypass filtration. I tried to go 10,000. Miles instead of the factory recommended interval of 7500. I had problems with low boost codes, and injector stiction. Now I use Schaefer’s 0TR plus 5/40, and two shots of Revex, and change it every 3000 miles. I change the bypass cartridge every other oil change. Maintenance is cheap compared to engine failure.

[@not12listen]

I'm very happy that I stumbled upon this! Your delivery is wonderful and I really enjoy the little jokes! I ran that exact bypass kit on a few cars (2 Toyotas and 1 Subaru), and it was absolute overkill. The first car, a 1989 Camry, had 1200 miles on the oil when I installed a bypass kit. Within 90 miles, the oil looked nearly new! Starting was easier, idling was smoother, acceleration was noticeably quicker as well! We'll call this a win. The second car was a 1986 Mr2. Standard 4 cylinder. It was the same result - the oil went from death black to nearly new in appearance in less than 100 miles. At the time I was not doing UOAs, so I cannot give you factual data to backup any claim by any manufacturer. I will say, anecdotally, I would absolutely run a bypass kit on every vehicle if I could, as the health of the engine (longevity) means more to me than the money & time spent buying and installing the kit. The third was a 2006 Subaru Impreza. Just like before, death black oil turned nearly new in appearance. I started to do UOA on this car, and the results were very, very good. I started with 5000 miles (factory calls for 3750 miles), then 7500 miles, then 10,000 miles... And finally... 12,000 miles. Blackstone said I could run the oil longer... Longer than 12,000 miles... That is how clean the oil was, not NEW clean, but clean enough... You get the point. I changed the oil at 12,000 miles, as that was 1 year on that oil. To put it lightly, I was beyond impressed with the results. Sadly, my Subaru had to go to the shop to replaced a turbo that was allowing oil past the seals. The shop took the kit off and asked me "wtf is this contraption!?" I detailed it, and they said "that is absolutely overkill. btw - your engine is the cleanest engine we've ever seen." At that time, that engine had around 75,000 miles on it, and the shop knew the mileage of the engine as well. I did notice a very slight increase in fuel economy as well, 1-2mpg on average, which is not a massive amount, but does add up over time... and turbo Subarus absolutely need help with fuel economy. Your description of the economies of scale is spot on. The kit is expensive, and gets more expensive when you have to buy new AN fittings, hose, and Flame Guard... I was able to go 12,000 miles between oil changes with the kit though. Thank you for the laughs and being honest about your setup and results. :)

I use Amsoil SS in my 03 civic. I change filters at 10k miles and even at a final mileage of 20k when I do the oil change, the UOA comes back saying I can go longer. But I figure 20k is plenty. I just change it once a year now at 14-15k miles amd a filter half way through.

[@akaraven66]

It's great that the oil looks cleaner, but without a detailed analysis of it you won't know if it still is good, or just looks good. For new oil it should help keep it cleaner for longer, but cleanliness is not the only thing oil is made for or what can go wrong with it. Honestly if these systems worked as well as people claim, they would already be in use by the manufacture. For an older car you would not need some magic oil or filters, $20-30 every whatever is recommended is far better still, even with this system in place. And no, companies are not out to get your money, an oil change is recommended and far easier for mechanics than an engine rebuild or replacement, if they wanted to really take your money, they would make engines purposely breakdown and with lemon laws in many countries that just adds to the cost that they don't want.

Regarding the very fine soot particles found in diesel engines, I've found that the Land Rover 2.5L diesels manage to retain very clean oil thanks to the use of a novel centrifugal oil filter design - the filter spins inside its housing and seems to do a wonderful job of keeping the oil clean. Not sure how you'd replicate it in a bypass/external filter setup, but if you're chasing perfect filtration then it's something to consider.

Read an article in motorcycle magazine many years ago regarding the quality of synthetic oil. This shop had a shop truck with 100,000 miles and never changed engine oil which was initially filled with Mobil 1 when new. They sent off OA and found that oil still retained virtually original specs as new oil. Synthetic oil doesn't break down and lose its properties like Pretoleum based oils. Filter out the contaminates and you're good to go!

[@freedomworx]

They are certainly superior to conventional oils.

[@Dagr8soldjer]

I read that synthetic oils offer superior protection and cleaning at the cost of shorter maintenance intervals. This was supposedly due to the detergents in the synthetic oil, causing better carbon build up mitigation, but becoming oversaturated with acidic particles and carbon far more quickly, causing the oils viscosity to degrade. For context the piece I read was in reference to rotary engines specifically as the rotary requires conventional oil in order to burn it in the combustion chamber. The piece was in reference to the benefits of separating the oil used for burning, from the oil used for lubrication, allowing you to run a more efficient and clean burning oil in the combustion chamber, and a superior synthetic oil for lubrication. I know that rotary engines require shorter maintenance intervals anyway, however surely it would not matter which engine is the subject, if synthetic oils require more regular changes.

[@ralphwood8818]

I was talking about a Detroit series 60 in a Peterbilt truck with over 1 million miles with virtually no engine wear and only 1 oil change using Shell Rotella conventional 15 40 and a Big Gulf Coast 02. At the time it used 2 rolls of Bounty big roll paper towels. Road King magazine asked me for the truck owners phone number. Road king did an article on it. They said the amount of makeup oil added at filter changes was equal to a full oil change every 40 K. The towels were changed every 10 K. The full flow filters were changed every 50 K. Oil analysis showed that was more filter changes than necessary.

[@ralphwood8818]

Was talking about my 84 Subaru with over 250 K with no oil drains. Using Mobil 1 15 50 and a Frantz oil cleaner with a Frantz adapter that replaced the full flow filter. A Caterpillar lab manager saw my posts and sent me a sample kit. He said the oil looks good but recommended I change the Frantz every 6 K instead of every 12 K. Been doing 6 K since. The 06 Pontiac Torrent uses a Australian Jackmaster Classic with Walmart Super Tech. Im a filter guy not a oil guy. The top loaders are the easiest to service. The Caterpillar lab manager was concerned the Subaru wasnt getting enough new motor oil. It didnt use oil between filter changes. The 93 Legacy is another good one.

[@ralphwood8818]

Filters that clean oil have been around longer than synthetic oil. We changed the filters more often and used single weight oil In 1963 Delo 30W and 20W was 29cents a quart in the discount stores. Couldnt use multi grades in a diesel if you wanted to keep the warranty.

Not saying thst this is a bad product but Even if it works as good as 0:12 you say the cleaning detergents that are in the oil break down over time and under prolonged heat exposure and t g e viscosity changes. You still need to change the oil from time to time to keep your motor running in top shape.

[@freedomworx]

Chances are, the oil will still require period of changes. But in some scenarios, it can run idefenitely.

[@WaIIyMaven]

I agree generally. I was doing oil changes every 3 months @$150 per oil change (cost of oil and filter). After installing my FS2500 bypass oil filter, I found my oil is good for about 2 years by doing regular oil testing every 6 months. Nowadays I change my oil yearly, and don't bother with oil testing anymore, however oil testing always found 0% levels of soot in the oil, which was my major concern. The oil additive package was still acceptable after 2 years, but was getting to the point of needing a change by then. So I chose to change it yearly mainly to maintain oil with a good additive package and a high total base number to combat acidity.

[@ralphwood8818]

Actually its a matter of keeping the oil analytically clean and adding enough new makeup oil to keep the additives up. Expensive filters dont get changed often enough. Some people say yes but the expensive filters can go longer between filter changes. The better the filter and the smaller the filter the more often it needs to be changed.

Love the Vid. I used to run a small trucking Co. We were running 17K+ miles per month with a 15,000 mile oil change interval so, we changed the oil 10 to 14 times per year at 11 gals. of oil per change. Times 8 trucks that is a lot of oil to purchase at $20 per gal. bypass is the way to go.

Great video, one thing you forgot in your FAQ is the reduced wear. How that SHOULD translate to longer lasting engine...which if you average out the repair...could pay for itself very quickly.

[@freedomworx]

You make a good point. It's a tough thing to quantify though. I'm anxious to see if my wear metals drop with the Bypass System.

[@douglasmontgomery6315]

@@freedomworx , thanks. However, it's been kinda proven hasn't it? With he data from SAE and others (GM did a study as well). The most destructive particles are WELL below the 20-30 microns (at best) a GOOD (is that what most people are using? - not if they're going to a shop with a low cost oil change) full flow oil filter provides. So, the bypass would HAVE to provide less wear, hence longer life & performance.

[@freedomworx]

Yes and no. The testing shows that removing those particles from the oil, reduced wear in the laboratory test conditions. But that test only accounted for the reduction from abrasive wear caused by the particles. Which is only a fraction of the wear that occurs in an actual engine operated in the real world. Most engine wear occurs during startups. Those engines didn't experience that at all. Nor did they deal with corrosion, erosion, or fatigue issue. And those engines weren't operated like a real world engine. They were fired off, heated up, and ran with contaminants introduced into the oil. So while it might have significantly reduced the wear from abrasion caused by larger particles (just say the wear reduction was 50% over a 20 micron filter), that doesn't mean you have reduced engine wear by 50%. It's only a fraction of that. That's why I say that its hard to quantify. My truck gets a lot more cold start wear than a hot shot rig. So it might significantly increase the life of a hot shot engine, but do little for mine. The benefit is proven, but the extent of that benefit varies greatly.

Ive used toilet paper filters for over 60 years. Ive seen a lot of changes.Frantz had filters that took 1 2 3 and 4 rolls of 2 ply toilet paper. They had a FAA approved AeroFrantz. John Frantz started in 1953 putting a Frantz canister in a larger canister that was usually optional equipment on American cars and pickups. Messy to change but very effective like all Frantz filters. A Frantz dealer in Gulfport Mississippi specialized in putting the filters on large marine engines. At some point they went out of production. He replaced them with a improved top loader toilet paper filter and large filters that used Bounty big roll paper towels. The little toilet paper filters were dropped luckily I still have a few in use. The Australian Jackmaster Classic is similar. I like it. The Frantz is a terrible design. I like toilet paper such as Great Value 1000 from Walmart. I see Ebay has Frantz elements for 10.95 18.68 shipping.

[@ralphwood8818]

Actually all of these filters depend on keeping the oil clean and adding enough new makeup oil to keep the additive package up. I use the old truckers palm test. I put a little oil in my palm and smear it around. Dont plan on wasting money on lab analysis for my old engines. The Motor Guard oil cleaner on my old F250 390 is over 50 years old.

It's definitely possible. A particle count wont pick those up. It'll probably just reflect in the viscosity of the oil...maybe.

That’s true. But you can’t just assume that the additive package will be used up faster than it is replaced by top-off oil when you change the filters. We shall see.

[@ralphwood8818]

The reason the system works is the filters clean the oil and the new additives are replenished by new makeup oil added at filter changes. Centrifuges work but they need oil changes to replinish the additives. They dont require enough makeup oil. A big Gulf Coast filter on a large diesel truck takes 10 quarts of new makeup oil.

[@ralphwood8818]

On a diesel truck, it probably won't matter, but I am curious how this would affect the oil pump on a smaller gas engine due to the increased resistance of the smaller sized mesh in the bypass. Mainly to improve turbo life on small-displacement engines. Excellent video - masterful explanation of concepts!

[@freedomworx]

It doesn't affect the oil pump, pressure, or flow. I mean technically it does affect the flow to a small degree, because you are diverting a small amount through the by[ass filter, but not enough for your engine to notice. But because it's a bypass route, it isn't causing a restriction to your oil pump. If you used a 2 micron filter only, that ould be a problem. Definite flow restriction. Thanks for watching 👍

[@myronhorvathsk]

Great explanation of bypass filtering. I’m a strong believer in bypass filtration if you can install it. My thoughts are based on my own personally tested results. When I was still on the road, my last truck I ordered was a 99 Pete with a 525 Cummins and I ordered it with an oil centrifuge on it from factory. Now I don’t have test data to back this thought up but I feel a centrifuge may remove a bit more from the oil than a bypass filter. That engine was put onto an extended drain regiment right off the start. The first time I serviced the centrifuge was at about 60,000 miles, when I removed the canister in the centrifuge to clean it I was greeted with a layer inside it on the walls about 1/2” thick that I had to carve out of it and it was the consistency of hockey puck rubber!! Seeing that was a major eye opener when you think your oem full flow filter is cleaning your oil but all of what came out of the centrifuge would still be circulating around your engine. Personally I would never own another heavy truck or piece of heavy equipment without putting a centrifuge onto it. When I retired from the highway that engine had 1.2 million miles on it, yes miles and it did not use anymore oil that it did when brand new. It had developed some leaks just due to age, but when those were fixed oil use was the same as when it was new!! That right there proved to me beyond any doubt that good oil and bypass filtration works! My 07 Dodge Cummins also has bypass filtration on it.

Also not the easiest to do it the old school way (best) which is to put a T in the oil sensor to put the supply to the bypass which used to go back into the head via the Oil fill cap.

Love the video. Is there a follow up on results?

[@freedomworx]

Thank you. I’ll do a follow up in a couple months when I hit 15,000 miles on the oil. The 10,500 mile analysis was good 👍

I think... I think I found the Wendigoon of car stuff *subscribed* - love your work mate.

[@freedomworx]

I had to look him up. Interesting fella. 👍

The only problem i have as an oil technician is the additives. The additives that prevent oil burning and provide the correct friction coefficient between the cylinder walls and pistons are meant to burn over time. They create a sacrificial layer on the walls meant to burn so that the oil doesn’t. If you’re not changing the oil, and I’m assuming you’re not adding additives to the oil regularly, wouldn’t this result in excessive oil burn off?

[@freedomworx]

There are no additives designed to reduce burning or be sacrificial burn additives. The amount of oil that burns (evaporates mostly) is a function of the density of the oil, which most people will refer to as "weight." Lighter (less dense) oils like 0W-20 will burn (evaporate) at a faster rate than a heavy oil 15W-40. But additives such as detergents, disperants, anti-wear (ZDDP generally), anti-foam, anti-oxidant, etc... Do get "used up" during the service life of the oil. They are supplemented when you change the filter and add new oil. The operating conditions will dictate if the supplamental oil is suffiecent to maintain the additive package.

A uncle once told me when he changes oil in his 59 Ford it uses a quart then doesn't use any more. When I got older I realized the crappy 10 30 oil he was using evaporated a quart soon after an oil change.

I like the way you dumbed it down for the average Joe and still got the point across, well done. The only comment I may object to is the 30 dollar oil change, I do my own and oil and filter cost $65 plus tax on sale. If you have the time I would like to see a chart on different oils for cost and quality. Thanks.

5 quarts of Wal-mart flavored 5W-20 Synthetic and a factory Honda filter for my minivan is under $30. Oil and a filter for my diesel engines is about $90-$100. That’s 15 quarts of synthetic 15W-40 diesel oil and a premium aftermarket filter. 👍
