Default Bypass Oil Filter?

Hello Good People,

Was curious to learn if any D1 owners are using bypass oil filters?
I recall reading about them in various hot rod magazines from back in the day. These days I know several Fords and other diesel trucks can be fitted with them. One of the known filters is the John Frantz bypass oil filter than allows you to use a roll of toilet paper as the filter.

Aside from traditional oil and filter changes what are you good people doing to keep your oil as clean as possible?

Thanks for the input...

IMHO I don't see a need for a bypass oil filter. If I was going to use one it would NOT be made from a roll of toilet paper. I would find a way to install another real oil filter inline remotely somewhere. And even as I just typed that...I still wouldn't waste the time.
So for me (for many years) it's a QUALITY Oil Filter, Oil, and just change it often. That seems to work.

OverRover,
That sounds about right and just what I was thinking but needed to be sure.
Thanks!
