Its easy to retrofit on an older car, not sure why manufactures don't go that route, since they are all about lowering service requirements these days.
All you need is a good bypass filter, a good synthetic oil, and a lab to monitor it. OTR trucks go 100k miles or more between oil changes doing this.
The setup I saw installed on a 606 was pretty simple, I forget where he tapped off you would need to take a high pressure oil line, and he put the return on the valve cover so the freshly filtered oil was coming back in on the timing chain.
