I have a OPS oil purification system on my motorhome and I think it is the best bypass system on the market. It is a 3 micron filter system with a heater to burn off the acids. I use Rotella T6 synthetic oil and send a sample from the built in sampling port to Polaris labs every 12,000 miles and oil is always clean with no irregularities. I change the ops filter at around 20,000 miles and change oil and main filter whenever Polaris indicates a need or at 50,000 miles for a feel good reason. I have 140,000 miles on my Caterpillar 3126B engine and oil is always clean. I have seen OTR truckers with 160,000 mile and still checking good using the OPS system.
