All,
  The system of running an expensive engine on dirty
oil for a specified number of miles then changing the
oil is on its way out. It is too expensive for the
equipment owner. There are several good bypass oil
filters now on the market all of them are after market
bypass filters. One can be found on my web site at:

The US military is a big user of proper filtration as
are many civilian fleets. See following letter:

Dear Charlie,
     This letter is a followup letter to the letters I
have written to you over the years (since the mid-
seventies, I believe) to let you and others know the
immense value of running their equipment on clean oil
and clean fuel using filters that work so well.
     As you know, it seems each of your dealers that
come to Gulfport for factory training always ask me how
much I save using your filters. And each time I give
them the same basic answer: I don't know, because when
I began working with my father about fifteen years ago
he had already had you put filters on his trucks, cars,
forklifts, and the Mack truck he had at the time.
     What I do know is that I don't want to ever
consider buying a new vehicle and having to put up with
changing oil and getting a so-called average life out
of the engine and then spending a lot of money to
overhaul it. Especially when all these years all our
mechanics have had to do is replace a very inexpensive
roll of toilet paper on the gas engines and automatic
transmissions in the cars, pickups, and forklifts and
rolls of papertowel on the diesel equipment to get the
long life we have always experienced. And several of
our route trucks with GMC gas engines went over 200,000
miles without a single oil change.
     I guess you could ascertain the faith I have in
you and your company's products when we called you last
week to install Gulf Coast filters on the two new
pickups and the diesel truck I had just bought.
     You can add 3 more to the more than 100 filters
we're using.
Sincerely,
