By Pass filters and synthetic oil 200 1990

I have been thinking about going sythetic for some time. Have you guys ever tried out a by-pass filter? I heard that these filters, Frantz in particular, can help filter out very small debris and also gasoline.

I have been holding off on sythetic because of concerns about gas dilution.
My theory is that even in the best engine, a bit of gas is mixed in with the motor oil. So if I am going to be using synthetic and increasing change intervals to 10k or 15k, then the synthetic oil will be too contaminated.

What are your thoughts on this ?
Is the by-pass filter necessary?
