Custom AMSOil bypass Blackstone results

[CUMMINZ]

OK guys read it and weep. Oo.



After 6000 miles of towing with my custom install AMSOil remote bypass filters, (one factory filter in place and one remote filter and one bypass filter) below are the results. This sampling is better than the one 6000 miles ago with just two AMSOil remotes and running the MP8 on half the trip. Please read comments to me from Blackstone. At this point I will be running the oil for a total of 10,000 miles till next sampling.

Looks pretty good. I don't know what a typical oil sample for a 6. 7 would look like though. Here's what mine looks like on '98 12V running Amsoil and no bypass.
The 10,000 mile oil change looks real good 'cause it was totally stock, second change was 15000 miles and power turned up with quite a bit of towing (iron went from 11 PPM to 35PPM). With all the emissions and EGR on 6. 7s I would expect wear metal numbers to be considerably higher than on a 12V

One oddity with my sample was lead shot up for some reason.

Hi, I was wondering how you hooked up the double bypass filters and left the stock filter in place? And why,also is the proportion of oil going to the remotes enough? Thanks I am alos using the Amsoil double bypass and liking it. Although I only have 2000 on the new oil.

I read - but I ain't "weeping"... :-laf:-laf:-laf



Nice report - wanna see one with another bypass, and using DELO 400 - at 20K miles?

AS important as the wear metals, where filtration quality is concerned - here's the particle count with that same oil:

Somehow I figured you'd find this thread

Very nice numbers

You know me too well - plus, on some thread subjects, I guess I'm too predictable... :-laf



The lead post in this thread sorta came off as a challenge, and, well, I enjoy a good challenge - but ya gotta watch it with challenges - if you throw down a full house, there's always the possibility the guy across the table is holding a royal flush...



Cumminz has absolutely NOTHING to be ashamed of with his very nice report...

Mickey,



My website shows how I hooked them up.



At idle I would guess that I am running a quart of oil every 5 seconds thru the remote.

I had as good or better numbers with a single Amsoil EaBP100 and Rotella... and my TBN was still over 6. 2 at 30k (changing bypass and fullflow every 10k).

Silicon is a tad high isn't it... is your air filter ok?

Nothing really stellar... Gary's deal is the one that has (and probably always will) impresses me the most.

Trying to compare oil analysis from different engines is like comparing Oranges to Apples!

Undoubtedly true to a degree - also, variations between lab equipment and testers can also vary reports. Only thing I can add in my case, is that oil analysis results between my '91, and the newer '02 - always done by Blackstone - were pretty much identical in various wear metas - always used the same oil, and of course, driving styles remain the same...

My purpose in posting this thread was not a challenge for others to compete between trucks and engines but for the challenge it has been for me. The 6. 7L engine is now known for being harsh on engine oil. I am now getting more miles on the engine and it should start showing slight signs of normal wear. I wanted to show that some of these signs could be slowed by a better oil filtration system. I have done that. For some reason even my fuel saturation has slowed. :-laf

THIS was the part of the lead post that made it seem otherwise! :-laf

OK guys read it and weep. Oo.

In any event, posts by others has helped display the available differences in effectiveness of different filter methods, as well as oil/engine differences of different generations - so I'd say your mission was pretty well accomplished...

When I get back in Oregon, I will definately give you a call!
