It will work. Depending on how often and how far you drive, it may not take 2 months for that first one to plug up.. IIRC, the instructions say to change the first one at 500 miles and the second one after 1000 miles and then yearly after that.

What I do is routinely check the hose spliced in after the filter to the degas bottle. When it stops being as warm as the radiator hose, I know the filter is plugged and change it. I did that on the first one and found it plugged before the 500 miles. Did the same on the second, which went almost 2K miles (But I had my headgaskets and oil cooler changed in between the first and second, so the cooling system got flushed too, which cleaned out a bunch of the crap in the system.). I continue to monitor the third, which I will change at one year if it has not plugged up before then.
