I doubt a bypass filter will pay for itself in savings. As is, the variable displacement pumps on newer cars are only saving less than 1% of total fuel consumption. Plus, the oiling system is a bit harder to work with when it comes to these sorts of upgrades.

Probably better to save energy at the water pump instead.
