A good quality synthetic does not break down like a dino based oil. Thats why people can go thousands and thousands of miles on the same oil. This is well documented and backed up with oil analysis. The bypass filter is a good idea even if you don't run synthec oil or want to run your oil forever. Cleaner oil(NO soot) = longer engine life.
