So, anyone own a bypass oil filter? Will it keep me out from > under my car for six months or so? Thanks. As an alternative, consider sucking the oil out through the dip stick tube. I use a vacuum pump and a large reservoir, makes oil changes much nicer. You can buy a car oil sucker from many tool outlets, they're around £60 ($90). Many people will tell you that this is not a proper oil change, because some oil is left behind. Some oil is always left behind, whether you suck from the top or drain from the bottom. The key here is frequent oil changes. Grunff
