i am less than 3 months, and under 5000km into my 5W40 SS synthetic oil with the FS2500 and I am getting a "change oil soon" message on my dash. I don't have EGR nor my exhaust filter so I had figured I ought to get a decent life out of my oil. This is the first time I've had my OLM suggest an oil change and it feels really early into the life of my oil. I had hoped to get 6 months or more before having to do another oil change.
When you run bypass filtration, does your oil life monitor become confused? I do mostly around city driving, and a bit of highway. According to my bullydog tuner my oil gets up to 70deg Celsius every trip.
I am not loving my FS2500 either. It's fairly compact and was super easy to setup, but my oil is always black. I had higher hopes for it when I bought it. I'm leaning against both the fs2500 and the Amsoil bypass filters because they use a pleated media type filter, and towards some of the more solid media bypass oil filters such as ... just about any other.
