I bought my LX570 9 months ago and have put 22K overlanding miles on it. It has been fantastic. Upon chaning my oil ... again I remembered I had an Amsoil Remote Bypass Oil Filter kit that I was going to use for a truck I know longer had. That got me thinking and the following is what I came up with.
Disclaimer: Semi expensive and time intensive process, probably not for everyone.
UPDATED Disclaimer Part 2 - Electric Boogaloo: I will run an oil analyis at 10K to see what's what. If you don't like what I did below, I strongly suggest you don't do it. For real... don't do it. Like seriously... you should pass.

Install:
Big SUV and a very tight engine bay. Ended up taking off the front bumper cover. It is about a 3.5 hour job. It should make changing the filters easy enough by accessing from below like you would to change a fog light. Short hose runs. The Baxter adapter is almost a work of art. The Amsoil kit is built like a tank.
Why:
I put a bunch of overlanding miles on my LX570. Decent amount on non paved roads. I live in Phoenix and the extra oil and placement are nice. Having my oil filtered ever 20 minutes to 2 microns is fantastic. Changing my oil every 25K miles comfortably is gold.

Great Post !!
I've seen similar mod's on Pickups running longer lines for both fuel and oil.
I wonder if the filters can be relocated further from the front of the engine?
