Part 2. S60.
Installed an Amsoil EaBP 120, gallon spin on filters at $45. Unit was $350.
Reccomends 45k filter changes. I still change on sample results - typically 15-25k.
I like the idea of bypass filtration - higher micron filtering. You can see the difference when filling factory filters to the bypass filter, the amount of time it takes to bleed through the medium.
It started as potential cost saving, but now it’s more about laziness - I might change oil twice a year, 3 times - vs. every 12k on the mark. I change my own oil, but have a concrete floor shop to do so. Completely understand guys that don’t have access to a shop.
It didn’t catch a scored liner - the head being off for something else did. Fuel dilution, soot and silicon I’m always looking at, potassium/sodium too - for potential problems I can catch well before catastrophic failure. Injector issues, air leaks, bearing wear etc.
Oil - I use Schaefer’s., I like the service, doorstep delivery, $15 samples, and I like the rep. I know it’s high dollar - so economically it’s probably ALL A WASH.
That’s my experience
