Here's a shot of the newly removed old TP cartridge showing separate components, and how little oil loss and mess are commonly experienced:
There are a few mods seen to my filter - I'll explain them later if desired - meanwhile, here's a pic of the old TP cartridge removed from the canister:
And NO, no "TP falling apart into the pan and engine"!
One nice feature of this setup, is the ability to actually SEE any of the larger captured particles on the top surface of the cartridge - there SHOULD be VERY few evident on a NEW, unseated engine, declining over 20,000 miles or so, until NONE are visible once the engine is fully broken in.
SO, how's the Frantz bypass installed? The lead pic showed mine attached with it's bracket to the battery hold-down bolt on the passenger side of the engine bay - the high pressure supply hose to the Frantz picks off from the normally plugged port on top of the stock oil filter housing - do ya suppose Cummins had a bypass filter in mind when they thoughtfully provided that port?
The oil return FROM the Frantz on my engine goes to a neat Amsoil supplied swivel fitting installed on the oil fill cap on the valve cover - this allows easy normal use of that cap, and also provides a convenient point to capture sample oil for oil analysis if desired:
So how is a new TP cartridge installed? On a Frantz provided roll, it's simply inserted into the canister - it's all ready to go as supplied. On the Scotts TP I use, the outer layers of the roll must be peeled off to get the roll down to a size that provides a tight fit into the canister:
