FS-2500 By-pass Filter

[liberty]

Just wondering if anyone has installed one of those bypass filters from fluid solutions. Im curious as to how it worked, and if the claims they make on the ads are correct, along with cost and ease of instalation.

Thanks for the input.

Very convincing demo video!! I believe that I chose the Oilguard (oilguard.com) because the FS2500 recommended drilling a fitting on the pan for oil return. The oilguard system returns to the oil filler cap. Just a choice for ease of install! Oilguard is also a simple cannister system that filters to 2 microns. Check it out as well as Motorguard, Amsoil, and Frantz systems. Any bypass filtration is better than none!

Cheers

Someone, either here or on the DTR, tried an FS-2500 hoping to clean up the soot in their oil. It did not clean the soot, as advertised. I believe they tried to return the filter to Filtration Solutions.



I sent away for their advertising & demo CD. I must admit, it was quite convincing. They were using carbon black to simulate the soot. In their test, the filter worked very well.



The FS-2500 seems to be quite pricey, also.



The "toilet paper" filters seem to work very well & the filter elements are cheap. The downside that I see is that the TP has to be changed, frequently (every couple thousand miles), for them to work properly. And, you have to add "make-up" oil when changing the filter. They seem to be more inconvenient than some of the other products that are avaliable along with the cost of fresh oil at each filter change.



The Oilguard & the new Amsoil, high efficiency, filter have peaked my interest.



In Filtration Solutions defense, I believe I read that they are working on a new, higher efficiency filter, at this time.

I went with the oil guard system, for the price of the FS-2500 i got the complete oil guard system, 6 oil fiters, 6 canister filters ( enough to do do 6 changes) or about 60,000 miles worth! easy to install, and the return line as someone else pointed out goes to the fill cap. All parts included. great product.

I have the FS-2500 and I like it. It mounts remotely on the frame under the cab and has a place to pull oil samples cleanly. And you dont drill the oil pan for a return you can drill the valve cover or drill the oil cap. I drilled the VC in the rear for a less intrusive install I dont want to have a line in my cap and see it poking out of the top front of the cover. I have met the guys who run the show there and they really know their stuff when it comes to oil.

These blocks have a plug you can pull for direct to-the-pan return at the front of the block/front of the pan. Just get the tube from Cummins to press into the opening after pulling the plug. It's the same return location we use for dual turbo's 2nd oil return. It would be right there near where I think the frame mount would be.



I'm looking into a dual filtration setup for my hauler right now.

I'm not as impressed with the newer eAbp series Amsoil filter as I was with the older BE series... the BE-90 I first ran on my truck actually kept the oil visibly cleaner...



But, I guess it is still better than nothing at all...
