Rob.........yer scaring the un-informed about oil. Biggest cause of engine oil based wear is ACID. Which is a natural by-product of combustion process. Detergent based engine oils and especially modern multi-weight oils have both acid neutralizers and partical suppension additives. Yeah, the 15% bypass filter situation is a problem but is addressed by using a QUALITY oilfilter like NAPA gold 1010. DO NOT USE FRAM oilfilters, they have been proven by independent testing laboratorys as inefficent at filtering particals. (measured in microns) Even the Ford OWNERS MANUAL recommends ANNUAL or 100hrs of operation engine OIL CHANGE with original spec 30wt oil. Frequent oil changes gitts ridd of contaminants.

I saw what fussy BMW owners required "specialist" oils can do BMW engines. Not purddy. I can eat off the insides my 1969 BMW 2002 cast alminum OHC valve cover and it has over 385k miles on it. Your engine, yer oil; use and change that makes you happy...........respectfully, Dell the oily
