Bypass Oil Filter - Good For Gassers, Too?

[jkmola]

Well, I have learned that a bypass filter is a good thing for a diesel. Talked to a guy this last week that claims it's been 80K since his last one. Said the oil still tests good, but that he thinks he might do a change anyway. ANYHOW, I was wondering if a gas engine would get the same benefits, or if there is something different that would prevent it. I thought that maybe the extra filtering and the extra clean oil might help my gasser to make it to 300k!

Just a SWAG here, but I'd think cleaner oil would be better for any engine.

oil guard sells a gasser model. I may add it to my wife's Pathfinder.
