fs2500

Has anyone ever heard of the fs2500 oil bypass system. it is supposed to extend the oil change intervalls

I've never heard of that particular filter system, but bypass systems are fairly common place in diesel engines. They work. I see that the FS2500 is a drop in element and not a spin on filter. Thier data says its good down to 2.7 microns which is good.

I have not heard from anyone using it but it lookks like a nice setup. I use an Oilguard bypass. I extended my change from 3k to 5k. I am sure I could go further but I do not want to.

I researched this earlier this year and have decided there is nothing justifying the higher price of the FS over the Oilguard.

this is my second Oil guard ,
really does do a good job.
but we havent extended oil changes yet, maybe soon though

How much is the FS system?

 

[Tx_Atty]

$550 approximately. Last I spoke with them they were raising the price again but Im not sure to what.

And the Oilguard?






edit: nevermind...... 200 or so. Why not build your own?

I think you would have over $100 in parts and a bunch of time invested, not worth it to me. I made my own in-tank mod and came out even but wasted a ton of time. Now I can do them for about $5 but I only needed one.
