I'm calling BS on all the nay sayers.
If you don't have/use a bypass filter, how can you know anything about them?
I have a 5.9B Cummins that I have a simple Franz toilet paper bypass installed.
I upped my oil changes from the recommended 6,000 miles to 18,000 miles and Blackstone labs say I can go a lot longer if I want to.
Yes, you do have to change the bypass filter more often than the main oil filter.
I try to change the toilet paper every 2500 miles and the oil cleans up to almost like new. I have gone 5,000 miles before changing filters and the oil cleaned right up to a light grey color in a paper napkin.
Come here and see if you don't believe. I have 16,000 miles on the oil at this time and I just checked the valve clearances and they were all in spec after 26,000 miles and the top end was absolutely clean.
If I buy another motorhome and I see a bypass filter on it, it will be a HUGE plus.
