Remote bypass oil filtration

[12vdc]

10k on oem filter? Im sure owner forgot to read manual where it say replace oyl filter every 5k kms.. i hope his engine still runs fine..

The CRDIs esp with crank ventilator and EGR causes very dirty oil.. Even after day1 of change oil with engine flush, you could notice the color is pit black.. Realy goes to show how bad these emission control devices got to do with our engines..

Curious-what if i want to filter it all, no bypass mechanism..
Is it possible to run a secondary filter that automatically switch when it detects filter 1 is clogged?

i meant the omission of 'n' in synthetic. fat fingers, that's no good in the cramp spaces under the hood.

(edit)for the uncanned element type filter, can one tell by appearance that it's still good to go? or should we just follow the periodic maintenance schedule?

thanks for the informative illustrated posts :2thumbsup:

That's not a impossible set up, but you would be required to basically run a dual filter system which will not get clogged as long as you keep your intervals as they should be. Main filter to catch all the big stuff second filter to catch all the good stuff.

The only way i see running a set up like that is if you tapped the oil pan or put a T fitting where your oil pressure switch goes because you could not use the standard spin on adapter because it would still bypass the second filter. And you would need to add a pressure switch and solenoid valve to make it all work, Not really needed IMO.

This is all you need to make a bypass kit besides the 1/2" ID hose and barbed fittings.

Spin on adapter with 1/2" npt ports, Your stock filter location is replaced by this and your stock filter screws right back on it.


Then just a filter adapter which screws right on your filter, basically it's a bypass system without loosing the stock filter location. This way is very popular if you don't have a lot of space and don't want to move your stock filter location. Add a oil pressure gauge (not the stocker which is more of just a switch)

Just follow your maintenance schedule, no need to babysit them.

* JMPET626, Royal Purple makes a good filter, It has the microglass media in it, and is Made by Champion labs same makers of Mobil1 and K&N oil filters.




*Edtf, you can cut them open in many different ways, they are just a light gauge metal, A dremel tool works, hacksaw (that's going to take a while) a Bench Vice and a power grinder with a cutting disk will make short work of one. And they make a tool just for doing this, kind of like a industrial can opener. You can also use a reciprocating saw. Knowing how clever some of these shops are that do metal work I bet they could make you a cutting tool.

Thread wise yes, it's a 3/4 16 thread pitch, outer diameter wise also yes, length could be a issue, You would have to check to see if you can spare 2" of space. The LF689 also will work for you.

LF55A1
Overall Height: 5.40 (137)
Largest OD: 3.78 (96)
ADBV: Yes
BPV Setting: 10.01 (69)
Thread Size: 3/4-16 UNF-2B

LF689
Overall Height: 4.22 (107)
Largest OD: 3.80 (97)
ADBV: Yes
BPV Setting: 10.01 (69)
Thread Size: 3/4-16 UNF-2B

The direct replacement would be the LF3400
Overall Height: 3.62 (92)
Largest OD: 3.68 (94)
ADBV: Yes
BPV Setting: 9.43 (65)
Thread Size: 3/4-16 UNF-2B
