I didn't think I was being sarcastic.

Bypass filtration is a very old idea and can extended change intervals, double? I don't know, but I doubt that is a good idea. My father had bypass filtration on his old motor home and it worked well enough but he still changed the oil every 8-10k or so. Bypass of coarse works best on vehicles (or tractors) that are in dusty, dirty or wet environments.

Bobistheoilguy probably has a realistic review if you want less biased oppinions.

If you used that filter with
No Oil Change with SynLube™ Lube-4-Life®

you might be in business, they have been around since the 60's also.

Their oil requires new filters and a "top off" additive package occasionally.

As I said these things are legitimate but I think they may be exaggerating the change period, I have know of people to push the change period very far without issues but personally I would not risk much past 15k with synthetic and that filter. Heck even 10-12k is getting there.

Cheers
