Ok guys, I was running Valvoline Premium Blue Extreme in my engine before the engine swap into the new body.. I just drained the whole thing for several days on the engine hoist, then refilled with Mobil 1.

Here are my sample results after 4200 miles. (Not changed this time. Just changed Toilet paper roll and added 1 quart oil....)

First & Second Sample: No bypass, Shell Rotella T Synthetic 5w40

Third Sample: No Bypass, Valvoline Premium Blue Extreme Synthetic 5w40

This Sample: Bypass, Mobil 1 synthetic 5w40

I might add, my oil stayed clearish for almost 700 miles before turning dark with the bypass filter........
