Thanks Craig, yes I was going down the path of adding a filter before switching
to AD oil. To be honest we have run the HS6A to TBO with no problems at all on
straight mineral oil - starting to regret buying 55gal of Phillips 25W-60! No
doubt it is a better oil but the life of these engines is so short the benefits
don't have time to reveal themselves before the engine is removed and sitting
in the back of hangar as a giant paperweight.

JL2A,

I would not give up on that engine after TBO time.  Watch compressions  and 
Oil consumption and go ahead an put in that filter.  Most likely when  
she's really worn out, its now possible to get them overhauled to Zero time  
again.  Maybe even up graded to higher compression pistons and 'total seal'  
oil rings.  Check with Jill.  Most likely when that engine is opened  up, it 
will be very dirty inside.  That just character of using mineral  oil.  And 
that can be cleaned.  And after that overhaul, you can use  that barrel of 
25w-60!  It does not need to become a paperweight.
