Did a search and only came up with one post dated back in 2001 with only three responses, nothing direct.
Sorry, upon further searching I`ve found quite a bit...but the question still stands...

Has anyone installed an oil bypass filter in their diesel MB? I have installed one in each of our TDIs and I`m looking to see if there are any MB`s with a similar set up. I guess anything to keep the oil clean and cool is in our new 300TD`s best interest. Wanna keep it long enough so they can cart my remains away in it some day. :p
