Quote directly from teh web site's FAQ page:
"The Trasko can be used also as a bypass unit, if you prefer to install
it along with a regular filter on a dual remote mount."

Hmm - I like the sounds of this - it can be used as either a primary or
secondary filter.

If these things are as good as they claim to be - 10K without an oil
change, why have I not heard about them until just now? I am very
tempted to invest in one. I would love to do a comparison between a
filter such as the Napa Gold after 3K miles and their filter after their
10K interval... send them off to a lab for analasys. Before I would
dare run my engine 10K without an oil change, I would want to make
damned sure their filter can do what they say it can.
