Anyone tried a Bypass Oil Filter?
http://www.amsoil.com/catalog.aspx?groupID=54
looks promising. and filters to 5 microns. any inputs?
I have had one installed for the past year and change my oil every 10k miles along with adding some lucas oil stabilizer every couple thousand miles.
My G35 is a 2006 and when installed had about 24k miles and presently has around 33k miles. I don't recall having any oil consumption problems, or any strange engine noise.
I should probably read up on if this will void my warranty.

i would prefer to just re-locate the filter so i can change it without removing the skid plates under the car. i know porsche uses something like this because my boss' carrera has a 80k mile oil change interval (or some exaggerated number like that) but i simply don't understand how they pull that off. maybe one day ill go read up on it.

They pull it off because the oil pan is so large and they push the limits of synthetic oil. More oil means longer oil change intervals and 20 k oil change interval looks nice to customers. Its like when platinum plugs came out and caddys were sold with 100k miles spark plugs. Sure sounds cheaper than 25k mile spark plug changes to grandpa.

Many company's sell oil filter relocation kits but there's not a lot of room in our cars to do so. You only need to remove four of the bolts that hold up the under cover on our cars to do an oil change or if you're extremely lazy cut a larger hole in the cover so you can change it without removing anything.

i just find more often than not i end up getting oil inside the skid plate and then i have to go around cleaning it up by manuevering my hand in there and what not. my preference is to vacuum the oil out of the pan through the fill area and if i can replace the filter just as easily then that's just gravy to me. I haven't really poked around in the engine bay to look for space for a kit but maybe i will this weekend.
