Re: Every 500 Miles!??
A full flow oil filter acts like a pressure relief valve,the oil pressure rises to push the oil through the media.When used with a lube line from the oil pump shaft galley to the center main bearing cap it will provide a few pounds pressure to the bearing.
Modern diesel grade engine oils has superior additives that help protect a model a engine.A high shear and load factor with these additives helps protect your engine bearings. Detergents keep debris in suspension in the oil,allowing it to be drained out with the change..Non detergent engines allow dirt and combustion by products to be deposited on bearings and some settles out of the oil to become sludge..its amusing that folks think non detergent oil is effective..
