Not yet as I have no engine, but definitely will install one with the engine. Not so much to allow longer change intervals but to keep the oil in the engine in better condition. Transmission and engine are the two components in a vehicle that I dont want to open. Pretty much everything else I can fix myself.

I am thinking of a small electric auxiliary oil pump for this, so that I dont need to interfere engines own oil circulation at all. If it brakes at some point, I can just take it off and plug the extra pipes until I fix it.

And yes its diesel. I had a rare japanese diesel car with 2 oil filters in factory installation: one before the engine and another after the engine. Dont remember if they were similar, but my impression is that neither of them were bypass filters, both had valves and all the oil went through them. That engine took 3 car bodies to their rusty graves and is still tight as a new one.
