Re:Oil and filtration
A nice bonus in the above install, is that I can still change the stock oil filter from topside, or if additional room IS needed, simply pulling the single battery bolt allows the entire Frantz filter assembly to be swung outta the way... You can see I've attached my oil return line to the oil filler cap up on the valve cover - this also allows me to easily pull oil samples for analyzing without draining my oil, or other related mess...

They were very inexpensive compared to everything else I looked at and available through my local truck parts store. The spin-on filter is rated at 2 microns and has the 1/16" orifice built in. That way, if the jet does plug up (not very likely, since it is on the return side of the media), the problem is solved the next time you replace the filter! Cool, huh? ;D

Re:Oil and filtration
Vin thanks for the info. I have a little different object and truck. With no body I do have frame space so intend to use Luberfiner (spelling 
) This is for a couple of reasons. The mid sized trucks with an ISB have a larger pan and also a longer oil change sequence. The Dodge suffers from not enough oil for commercial use. The Luberfiner holds three gallons of oil, has inexpensive high quality filters for it and can be had from any truck junk yard. This means more oil, cooler oil, and of coarse a larger mess when changing [undecided]

Re:Oil and filtration
I've used the Frantz bypass filters on gas rigs since the 60's - mine had a 1/8" orifice - my newest one on my '02 dodge didn't come with a restriction, so I fabricated my own and drilled it to 1/8" as well - no visible change in oil pressure - nothing wrong with smaller diameter orifices - it just means the oil will circulate more slowly thru the bypass - might even filter a bit better at lower flow...

Didn't think this thread was still alive!<br>Racor filters sized for our engines use an even smaller hole; 0.040" or 1mm<br>http://www.parker.com/racor/cat/engl.../bypass_sp.htm<br><br><br><br>
