Instead of spending $$ on an additional bypass filter, I just replace the OEM filter every 2500 miles and change the oil M1 5w40 TD or Rotella syn every 5000 miles.

I have not done an oil anaylsis, but when I look into the valve cover the cam shaft is shiny and bright (not just the wear surfaces, but the whole shaft) and I cannot see any scoring of the surface.
