Gentlemen,
Thought I'd take some pictures of the Amsoil Bypass Filter system that I had installed a while back.......................sent off my first oil sample today after 18,000 miles. I really want to get a feel for whether or not this system works. Most of my driving has been highway miles (42 miles roundtrip every day) The hoses that come with the system are ridiculously inadequate, so I had to go to an hydraulic hoses store here in Southern Cal and have some braided stainless steel hoses made especially for this application. They really look good and are rated at 500 psi.:thumb: Prior to sending my oil sample off, I was running Amsoil 15W40 motor oil with the Amsoil EaO88 oil filter, and the Amsoil BMK-11 bypass oilf filter. They maintain that their bypass filter will work at 98% efficiency down to 2 microns particle size..........................we all know that over 60% of engine wear is caused by particles that are between 6-15 microns in size. Guess I'm about to find out (when the report comes back) if this system is all it's advertised to be. At any rate, here are some photos of the system in place. The bypass filter is mounted down under the truck on the framerail on the passenger side.

Very nice looking set up. The "BLUE" covers, is this part of the kit from AMSOIL?
Thanks
Ken

Slick installation! Agree with your choice to go with the aircraft hoses. The bypass filter is the right solution all right. (There's a reason that they are "standard" on most over the road tractors)
What oil analysis service did you send your sample to?
I love seeing a nice clean engine compartment! Great pics, what did the hoses look like that came with the kit? Do you think they would work If the filter was to be installed in the engine compartment?

Some company in Euclid OH..................

Just some "cheapo-looking" rubber hoses..............I read where some other guy opted to go with this type of braided hose and it looked really sharp! You could probably find somewhere in the engine compartment to mount it, but it just fits so well on the framerail! No holes to drill.

I just ordered my BY PASS kit and I plan to copy your installation
