RE: Bypass filtration report

I recollect hearing stories yrs ago from truckies here in Oz, who made up their own bypass filter arrangements in the days before they were available ex-factory and used toilet paper rolls as the filter.* If I remember correctly, they managed to clean the oil so well this way, some got literally hundreds of thousands of miles between changes - in fact some never changed the oil, so it was claimd - just topped it up to compensate for unavoidable loss and engine consumption.* I never knew where truth ended and legend began, but I can see how it could work......and if I had the money and energy and my engine was newer.......
