I believe Amsoil has a product that filters a portion of the oil in a
very tightly woven material and it looks like it could work. It only
filters part of it at a time because it creates a small drop in
pressure. I run Amsoil but I dont let it go as long as they say you can.
I've considered the setup(it is kinda like a remote filter setup) but
haven't yet because of space problems in the engine bay, and I'm also
waiting for some proof it works. Remember starting an engine is the
worst thing you can do, since there is no oil in the top end, Amsoil
seemed to decrease starting time for me.
