Will try to answer as asked<g>:
With regards to the Dual Remote Bypass Filter. On my 85 900T, I mounted the filter block on the wheel well passenger side. It was a pain to do, because of limited access to install the hardware. The new hardware looks like it might be a bit easier--
The kit comes with everything needed except 45 or 90 degree fittings to make the initial turn after coming out of the filter (90 degree for Saab) and a petcock if you want to use that to pull oil samples.
The recommendation is to take periodic oil samples, and change filter(s) and/or oil as the lab suggests. With the bypass, I changed the full flow at six months and the bypass filter every couple of years. Think I changed the oil after 3 years--but the usage had dropped significantly after I picked up the 88 9000T and my wife started using the 85 around town.
You can run the bypass with any oil. It is estimated that it will increase the service life of the oil by a factor of three. State of NC installs a bypass system on every school bus before it puts it into service. (They aren't using AMSOIL engine oil).
Yep, it is about 25% off suggested list.
You can use an AMSOIL full flow filter in place of the OEM filter (or whatever your dealer uses<g>). It will take out a bit more junk than most (if not all) of those on the market.
Results won't be quite the same as with the Bypass, but certainly you'll not be able to wear the engine out. Without the bypass, I'd change the full flow filter at 6 months/7500 miles and the oil + filter at 1 year/15,000.
