Maybe a by-pass filter system would be a better choice? Keep the oil clean and run extended change intervals - if you do oil analysis.

Thanks... any bypass system you recommend. I hadnt looked into one of those in years. My dad always ran Raycor bypass on his welding truck and machines, he always said they were really good.

There are guys on the site that run the Amsoil by-pass system with a variety of different oils and run extended drain intervals (by doing oil analysis).

Others have used the Frantz system too which reportedly filters down to 1/2 micron.

You will have to do some more research on this to satisfy yourself as to which route you should go. You should be able to get a lot more life out of your oil with good filtration - which will help pay for your filtration system and oil analysis.
