What I said was that ag, industrial, over-the-road and contruction diesel engines use a bypass filter setup similar to the system used on the "N"'s to get the oil CLEANER than the OEM full-flow filter does. (In addition to a full-flow filter.) Many people are retro-fitting bypass systems to diesel light trucks, also.

They tap into the main oiling system, and allow a controlled amount of oil to pass through the added bypass filter, which is the same way the "N"'s are set up.

Here's a link to a site with the bypass filter retro-fit kits, which are reputed to remove smaller wear-causing particles than a full-flow filter does.

So, for the samll wear-causing particles you are worrying about, there's nothing wrong with a bypass filter.

Even with ND oil, you're going to have most of the wear-causing particles circulating around with the oil until filtered out, but, of course, during shut-down theywill settle out as sludge.

I have no opinion on Amsoil products, for or against. There are many other bypass filter kits out there, this was simply the first site I found.

They are talking about only 10% of the oil flow going through the bypass filter, and still cleaning up the oil beyond what the OEM full-flow filter will do.
