Diesel engines, especially the Duramax 6.6L, generate enormous amounts of soot and fine particulate contamination as part of normal combustion. The factory full-flow filter catches the larger particles, but the ultra-fine contaminants, the ones that actually accelerate bearing wear, cylinder wall scoring, and oil degradation, pass right through. Over tens of thousands of miles of towing, hauling, or daily driving, those particles accumulate and silently eat away at engine internals. That is the problem this system was built to solve.

SUPERIOR SMALL-PARTICLE FILTRATION, INCLUDING SOOT REMOVAL
The AMSOIL Ea Bypass Filter works alongside your full-flow filter on a partial-flow basis, drawing approximately 10 percent of the oil pump's capacity at any given time. Instead of trying to filter all the oil at once and compromising on particle size, it takes a smaller stream and filters it to a much finer level, trapping the extremely small, wear-causing contaminants that full-flow filters simply cannot catch. Over the course of normal operation, the bypass filter processes all the oil in the system several times per hour. The result is that your Duramax continuously circulates analytically clean oil through every bearing surface, turbo journal, and oil passage.

INCREASED FILTRATION CAPACITY AND EXTENDED SERVICE LIFE
The dual-remote mount pairs a full-flow AMSOIL EaO26 filter with a dedicated bypass element, giving you significantly more total filtration media working at the same time. The bypass filter elements offer long service intervals that vary by element size. The EaBP90 is rated for up to 60,000 miles or 600 hours. The EaBP100, included with the initial purchase, covers up to 70,000 miles or 800 hours. The EaBP110 extends that to 80,000 miles or 1,200 hours. All three elements carry a maximum service life of 2 years regardless of mileage or hours. For Duramax owners running extended drain intervals with AMSOIL synthetic diesel oil, this bypass system provides the filtration backbone to support those intervals with confidence.

ENGINE CLEANLINESS AND LONGEVITY FOR HIGH-MILEAGE DURAMAX TRUCKS
Keeping contaminants out of the oil means keeping them off of internal engine surfaces. Over time, this translates to cleaner valve trains, cleaner piston ring lands, and reduced sludge and varnish formation throughout the engine. Owners who tow fifth wheels, pull trailers, or put heavy miles on their LB7, LLY, LBZ, LMM, LML, or L5P Duramax engines will see the most benefit. The system also adds approximately two quarts of oil capacity, which provides a modest improvement in overall oil cooling and dilution of contaminants.

REDUCED LONG-TERM MAINTENANCE COSTS
By keeping oil cleaner for longer and reducing the rate of internal wear, the dual-remote bypass system helps lower the total cost of maintaining a high-mileage Duramax. Fewer contaminant-related wear events mean fewer premature component replacements. Combined with AMSOIL's extended-drain synthetic diesel oils, the system allows owners to stretch service intervals while maintaining oil quality that meets or exceeds the protection of shorter, conventional drain schedules.

PURPOSE-BUILT FOR THE GM 6.6L DURAMAX PLATFORM
This is not a universal bypass kit adapted with generic fittings. The BMK27 system includes a vehicle-specific spin-on adapter (BP420), thread adapter (BP405), and all hoses, fittings, brackets, and mounting hardware needed for a clean installation on 2001 to 2019 GM 6.6L Duramax diesel trucks, including Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD, Silverado 3500HD, GMC Sierra 2500HD, and Sierra 3500HD models. The filter mount assembly is designed to be positioned within four feet of the factory filter location and includes a drilling template for precise bracket placement. An optional oil sampling petcock (BK13, sold separately) can be added to the mount for convenient oil analysis sampling without contamination.

COMPATIBILITY AND FILTERS
The system ships with one AMSOIL EaO26 full-flow oil filter and one EaBP100 bypass oil filter. Replacement bypass elements are available in three sizes: EaBP90, EaBP100, and EaBP110, each with different mileage, hour, and time ratings to match your operating conditions and service schedule. All hoses and fittings included in the kit are matched for maximum performance and service life. AMSOIL does not recommend interchanging with other hose types or brands.

SERVICE LIFE

Bypass Filter Element Mileage Hours Time
EaBP90 60,000 600 2 years
EaBP100 70,000 800 2 years
EaBP110 80,000 1,200 2 years

Fittings and hoses should be inspected annually for leaks, deterioration, or damage. Do not exceed the listed service limits for any bypass filter element.

FAQs

What vehicles is the AMSOIL GM 6.6L Dual-Remote Bypass System (BMK27) designed for?

The AMSOIL GM 6.6L Dual-Remote Bypass System (BMK27-EA) is designed for 2001 to 2019 GM 6.6L Duramax diesel engines. This includes Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra heavy-duty trucks equipped with the 6.6L Duramax platform across those model years. The system uses the EaO26 full-flow filter and an included bypass filter for initial installation.

How does the AMSOIL Dual-Remote Bypass System protect my 6.6L Duramax diesel engine?

The AMSOIL Dual-Remote Bypass System provides superior small-particle filtration, including soot removal, by working in conjunction with the engine's full-flow oil filter. The bypass filter draws approximately 10 percent of the oil pump's capacity at any one time, trapping extremely small, wear-causing contaminants that full-flow filters cannot remove. It typically filters all the oil in the system several times an hour, so the engine continuously receives analytically clean oil. Verified owners have reported impressive internal engine cleanliness even at 120,000 miles.

What are the service intervals for the AMSOIL Ea Bypass Filters used in the GM 6.6L Dual-Remote Bypass System?

AMSOIL offers three Ea Bypass Filter options with different service intervals. The EaBP90 is rated for 60,000 miles or 600 hours, the EaBP100 for 70,000 miles or 800 hours, and the EaBP110 for 80,000 miles or 1,200 hours. All three bypass filters have a maximum time interval of 2 years, regardless of mileage or hours accumulated.

How does the AMSOIL bypass filtration system compare to using just a standard full-flow oil filter on a Duramax diesel?

A standard full-flow oil filter is designed to pass all engine oil through quickly, which limits how fine it can filter without restricting flow. The AMSOIL bypass system works alongside the full-flow filter by diverting about 10 percent of oil pump capacity through a secondary filter that traps the extremely small, wear-causing contaminants full-flow filters cannot remove. This dual approach means the engine constantly runs on analytically clean oil, increasing filtration capacity and life while helping reduce maintenance costs and extend engine life.

How often should I change the filters in the AMSOIL GM 6.6L Dual-Remote Bypass System?

The bypass filter service interval depends on which Ea Bypass Filter you use: the EaBP90 lasts up to 60,000 miles or 600 hours, the EaBP100 up to 70,000 miles or 800 hours, and the EaBP110 up to 80,000 miles or 1,200 hours, with none exceeding 2 years. The full-flow EaO26 filter should be serviced according to its own recommended interval. Do not exceed the listed limits for any of the bypass filters to maintain optimal engine protection.

Is the AMSOIL GM 6.6L Dual-Remote Bypass System compatible with other oil filters or only AMSOIL filters?

The AMSOIL GM 6.6L Dual-Remote Bypass System is designed to use the AMSOIL EaO26 full-flow filter and AMSOIL Ea Bypass filters (EaBP90, EaBP100, or EaBP110). The initial purchase includes the full-flow filter and bypass filter. AMSOIL directs customers to see the table on the product detail page for specific oil filter options, indicating that compatible filter selections are specified by AMSOIL for this system to ensure proper fitment and filtration performance.
