Freightliner FLD/C12/440k miles -- is bypass oil filter worth it

Do you sample oil now, and if so - how do the samples look?

 

Not uncommon for c12’s to go well past a million miles ... oil bypasses do pay for themselves it’s more of a question on how long you plan to keep it.. if only keeping truck a short time I’d say no

 

I’ve been looking at the old FLD Classic for purchase in the future. Seems to be every bit the truck a Pete 379/389 is for less of an entry price overall.

I admit it’s a daunting task to consider a pre-emission truck over something like your run of the mill Cascadia. But I suspect these FLDs are still rolling around for good reason, and that nobody is going broke on them.
