Toilet paper filtering is a type of Bypass filter for those who don't know.

BHP/Hour/ Unit volume lube oil is actually fairly flat from heavy diesel to automotive.
Meaning that your car with 1 gallon of oil is making 10hp at cruise while the heavy Diesel with a 10-15 gallon sump is making 100-150 hp at cruise.
You are 1000% correct about operating time / cold start with most over the road tractors.
