Remote filters do zippo except relocate the filter. Bypass filters actually work, but their $200+ price tags make 99% of the anal retentive "oil dorks" on here shy away. In the end, what is the value of a $200 bypass filter that requires two expensive filters going to do for you on a car that may only last 2-3 years before it goes bye-bye anyway? Quality filters will filter down to around 5-10 microns which is good enough for most users. Bypass filters which filter down to 2 microns are really only practical for long haul users who use extended oil change intervals. That's why 99% of them are used on fleet vehicles.
