Years ago I was part of a discussion whether the bypass filter was of any much use at all.
The amount of oil actually filtered was small given the bypass design and the small ID of the pipes. That is compared to full flow types. The thoery being that minimal filtering and lowering of the oil pressure because of the drain off made it seem like better to take it out of the system and change the oil more often. After all many cars in the "good ole days" didn't come with filters at all. Plus they always seem to start leaking somewhere. Ideally find a full flow conversion I guess. Any comments?
cheers,
Max
