[QUOTE="Steve55340, post: 1334429, member: 31465"] I ran my 2010 5.4 for 5000 miles and installed an Amsoil Bypass Oil Filter System. I mounted the filter block on the cross member under the radiator (I did it without drilling any holes). A filter adapter was then installed in place of the stock oil filter with braided lines running to the filter block. The filter block takes two filters - one is a very large filter that will take out all the particles down to 5 microns. The other filter is also 2-3 times the size of stock filter. Everything fits really nice. (Skid plate needs to be removed during install and changing filters) This system will add almost two additional quarts of oil to the engine, too. The way by-pass filters work is that oil flows to the 5 micron filter first. It can't filter the oil as fast as the engine wants it, so it by-passes some oil to the other filter. Eventually all the oil will get filtered to 5 microns during this process. (I have read that particles smaller then 5 microns will not cause engine wear.) I use Amsoil 25,000 mile filters and oil so oil only needs to be changed once every 2 to 2-1/2 years (for me, at least). Before you freak out, I do not drive off-road, keep in heated building in winter, and don't beat on my truck. Oil still looks fairly clean at 25k and I add about 1/2 quart or so of oil during this time. Another advantage of the by-pass system is that I can pre-fill the filters with oil before installing them. Get oil pressure almost immediately. Another tip - poke a hole in the bottom of the filters when changing them. This will allow oil to drain out of them and not come out the top of the filter when unscrewing them. Very clean oil changes. I just removed the by-pass system from the 2010 and plan to install it in my 2019. Hopefully it will be here March 8! I will change the oil at 2500 and 5000 miles. Install the bypass at 5000. [/QUOTE]
