I would rather just do research at bobistheoilguy.com. A lot has changed since 01. Supertech filters are manufactured by champion labs now, and uses the e-core technology. Their filters are now light years ahead of fram and is comparable to a many of the mid-priced filters. I would just read up a bunch at bobistheoilguy and see what people's ****ysis has returned. Those guys don't mess around when it comes to oil and oil filters.

I've been using Amsoil oil & filters, ATF, and gear and differential lubes in my cars for a while. No engine oil related problems whatsoever and using what I consider to be a conservative 10 or 15k mile extended service interval. Each of the engines I did open up were totally clean of any sludge or build-up.

- '07 Fit Sport: 22,000 mi. to date.
- '99 Miata: 65,000 mi., to date.
- '99 Jeep XJ Limited: (for pulling boat) abt 73,000 mi.
- '97 Dakota 318 (for pulling boat) 18,000 mi.
- '97 Stingray 230SX 454/425 abt. 420 hrs.
- '95 Civic DX hatchback: abt. 127,000 mi.
- '95 Chevy 350 in PU: abt 65,000 mi.
- '90 Chevy 454 SS (for pulling boat) abt 45,000 mi.
- '90 Caribean 454 jet boat; abt 1250 hrs.
- '87 Porsche 951 (modified turbo) abt. 50,000 mi.

When I had my GD3, I thought about adding the bypass filter, but didn't feel that there was enough room to attach it in the first place, nor to remove and replace the filter elements at oil change time. The smallest bypass filter element (there are three sizes) is more than 3 times bigger than your stock oil filter. I don't think that this can be done on a GD3.
Aww, I see. I didn't know about the size, I should have read more on the dimensions.

My batter is replaceable, and was moved for a bit.

And I got my new G15 keyboard. no more onscreen typing/clicking.
