Aftermarket oil filter system needed?

My 08 is just about to 100k miles. I want a "million mile" truck and extra power is secondary. I plan on getting a tuner and doing all the deletes, adding a Fass system for the fuel, a Snow MPG-MAX water/methanol injector and delete tubes for the cat and dpf. I tow a fifth wheel out here in flat but VERY dusty west Texas. I do an oil change every 3k to 4k miles. Again, I want this truck to last forever and I'm wondering if I should consider an aftermarket oil filtration system. What do you guys think? Thanks for your input.

I would run the Fleetguard Stratopore oil filter on the truck with a centrifuge bypass. No filters to ever change on the centrifuge, just clean out the crude once in awhile.

Iv never seen the centrifuge bypass. Sounds nice not having to change filters. What is the micron level it filters to? Im using a Amsoil bypass that filters to 2 micron

I just run the donaldson oil filter, change every 8k miles with an oil change, I did oil tests for a while and they all came back just fine so I have stuck to them. And the best part is that there right around $12 bucks at Freightliner trucks, they do service on highway trucks with Cummin`s motors
