I am thinking about buying one in the next couple of weeks. They are a good company to talk to. Very informative about the info to. They told me that the kit comes with everything to install and the instructions are chassis and engine specific which is GREAT! The only thing that you would have to do is tap the valve cover for the oil drain back. When I get one I will let you know how it works.

What are the prices for one of these. It looks like if it works it would save all of us some money and a few angry moments.

I talked to the guy and the price for my app which is a 2005 Ram 3500 was 489.00 and 20 to ship. You will have to change the filter in the 2500 every 10,000 and the filters are 22 and some change a piece. Plus they will give you some places to send samples of your oil for them to analyze and that is how you would get your cycle. He also told me that some of his customers have gone up to 40,000 miles before changing the oil. When you change the filter you will have to put in 1 1/2 quarts back in the truck but that is it.

You should check out Oilguard as an alternative. Much less expensive. And looks to be the same filter system. I'm stacking Oilguard with a Motorguard setup afterward. This will possibly be the most overkill in bypass filtration, but that's the kind of guy I am...

btw- go to Bobistheoilguy.com and go to the bypass filter section. You'll learn more than you'd ever think you'd want to know...

It doesn't clean our oil that well in real life. Visually speaking. This is one case where looks are decieving...

Friend of mine put a Amsoil bypass on his 2006 Powerstoke, $4000 miles and he said the oil is looking more like new. I have yet to see it.

Well it turns out that it was not the Amsoil bypass he put on. It was the FS2500. This bypass works. I am calling Monday to get one. For a diesel engine this oil looks new. Now that's how it should be.

Nice system but ALOT of coin. That's gotta be the most expensive setup out there.

Lot of money up fount. After a few years is should pay for it self. Then only $5 a oil sample. And oil that looks new each time you check it at 200,000 miles.
