This is the whackiest thread I'll ever start sober... I hope... But.. I'm considering it.
I'm going to install a bypass oil filter w/ 1 micron amsoil filter... My egr is missing, I've dumped the flaming trash can, and after several runs from Blackstone, seem to have zero dilution issues... There is really no sense in NOT doing the bypass filter, as it is basically the cost of two oil changes, and will have paid for itself by 20k miles (extra two changes because primary filter should be changed at least every 10k even with bypass filter)... The bypass is a done deal... I've researched the crap out of it.. and, I keyed in on one lil thing I can't let go..... :
Many folks who've placed a pressure sender at the filter housing are registering 40psi at idle, and off the scale of a 70psi gauge at highway cruising speeds. With all that pressure, it makes me wonder what else can be done with it..
after installing the bypass coolant filter, I've noticed a delta between the oil and coolant that wasn't there before. It's only a couple degrees, bringing a total greatest delta I've ever registered on a warm engine in this thing to around five degrees, and normally only two off, bit I can't help but figure it's due to the extra exposure the coolant filter has being mounted under the passenger floorboard.. so, I figured the oil filter will likely do near the same thing... But there is another issue too with the coolant filter being where it's at- it's in the way of where the bypass oil filter is designed to go.. which led me to this inline cooler...
They aren't near as expensive as you think they'd be.. I was figuring on using two.. one to, and one from the bypass oil filter housing, pushing it further back the passenger frame rail, on the outside opposite the exhaust pipe.
So.. two three foot long 2.5" diameter coolers, using all that pressure available, and shedding temperature.... It doesn't sound like a bad idea on paper, huh?
I've sought out results from reviews, and these things are used for all kinds of different uses.. transmission fluid, steering fluid, air compressor cooling, hydraulics on heavy equipment, all kinds of places where space is tight or a lengthy run of hose could be better used as a healthy run of cooler exposure. One fella swears he's dropped 40* off of a transmission using a 14" cooler to, and another from the eternal oe stacked plate cooler... I wouldn't expect that, but.... 40* total drop from inlet of the first cooler to exit of the final one, and that representing 10% or so of the total oil flow, would equate to at least six degrees or so drop, no?
Am I missing something here? What would be the issue if any? Another plus: it will clean up the entire bypass install, as the hoses can drop pretty much straight down after the doghouse to the rail...
Thoughts?
