I just bought a
very used Mercedes 300d, it's the first vehicle I've seen with factory bypass filtration. Maybe I've just had a sheltered life of US-made vehicles? The filter element sits in a housing old-school style and has two distinct sections, one for the low-pressure higher filtering media. So if it's good enough for the German engineers, it can't hurt. IMHO however, significantly stretching your oil life rarely pays off in the long term.
