This also could be a slick way to plumb the return from a bypass oil filter without having to modify the oil pan or valve cover.

Very cool idea! I'm sure you could find the right fittings to mate to the pan.

Neat idea, but unless you change your oil a LOT, it doesn't really offer that much of a benefit over a system like the fumoto. There are also more parts to fail/leak/break.

Mercedes used banjo fittings on the tranny in some of the old diesels. Banjo fittins to connect cooler lines and some dipsicks are banjo fittings also.

Besides the minor clearance issue of the Fumoto, I'm thinking this is the main potential benefit of this modification.
