I bought a Frantz bypass filter a good while back but have not installed it in part due to really crappy weather and in large part due to my frustration with finding what I feel is an adequate and maintenance friendly location to mount the filter and run the oil lines. I have read the write-up and looked at the pics of Mike's install. I may end up doing it this way in the end but I wanted to get as many pictures of how the filter mounting installation is done before I make my decision. I want to keep it simple and drill as few holes and cut as little as possible and hopefully not at all. I would appreciate it if you guys who have the Frantz filter installed show me your pictures of how you installed and mounted the filter as well as ran the oil lines. Any other comments and suggestions welcome as well. TIA!

Normal oil filter is about 20-30 micron... A bypass oil filters are down to 1/2 micron... (At least Frantz) Check this out... http://forum.mopar1973man.com/showthread.php/1688-80-000-Miles......No-Full-Oil-Change

So do you run your regular oil filter and this other one or do away with the regualr filter

Run both filters... But now instead of changing oil at 7,500 according to Dodge's Owners Manual so I change oil and main filter every 10K miles. So I change Frantz filter every 5K miles...

My oil stayed clean, like when I first put it in for like the first 5,000 miles or so. So for me the proof is on the dipstick. 1/2 a micron filtration is pretty amazing when you think about it! Another bonus is it also is a bit of an oil cooler. The oil galley on top of my Cummins is now clean w/ no black used oil junk on the rockers, springs, so it's doing the same for the entire engine. My mileage is 188K, my instal was 10k miles ago or so. I just use regular Rotella & add either that or Lucas oil extender. NO BS here guys I wouldn't tell you it doesn't work if it didn't. I had a 6.9 Ford that as soon as I changed the oil it was dirty, my Kubota is the same. No Frantz though. Install on the Cummins is easy, there is a plug right on the stock filter housing that the by pass lines taps into, it get filered & goes back into the top of the engine via the oil fiter cap.Also take a look at Michael's used TP w/ 5K on it, does it look like any of the filter is sucked into the motor? There is a wire mesh screen that holds it all together, along w/ a lock ring! A huge plus is filter replacement is less than a buck! TP is Scott 2ply that is available at my local convenient store. Think I found it at Sam's Club, Wally World, & Cosco.I'm a believer,Dave
