great find rick, totally explains every thing and tony stands corrected. 5 minute mark watch oil pressure differential on how those bypass actually work. @Hemi395 there ya go.

I always believed we are in bypass more then we think because there is no real way to push cold oil viscosity through media, and since all of the filters I have pulled off didnt have the vacuum effect, I know at cold engine I am in bypass.

 

[Hemi395]

Makes sense, always wondered what the point of that spring was in any oil filter.

EDIT Thanks Rick!

I've said for a while now that the best media known to mankind is completely irrelevant if the bypass is open more than its filtering. That's why I went to the SRT filters a while back because its supposed to have a higher differential pressure for the bypass.

Thanks Rick!

Fixed it for ya, lol.

Which begs the question why oil filter companies show "bypass" psi ratings lower then oil psi w/o explanation. It is confusing, and like 6 years after this thread started we finally have an answer on it. Guess we still have things to figure out.

 

[Hemi395]

Fixed it for ya, lol.

Oh ok well thanks Rick!

 

[Hemi395]

This is what originally attracted me to the SRT filters. They have a higher bypass rating which means more oil is actually filtered. However after seeing the louvers weren't fully opened and seeing this info I'm thinking it would've put it in bypass MORE than a normal filter.

The more you see how things were built the more you see how bad things are actually done, in most things. Especially when manu's change things that aint broke, lol.

Interesting.

Engine wear is more likely at cold start up, so there's that possibility that oil isn't being filtered at all letting engine particle/contaminates cycling around in the engine until the oil is warmed up enough to thin out and reduce oil psi for the bypass valve to open, understood.

But, the feller in the video states that there isn't anything harmful to the engine other than fuel/oil blow-by which is normal and nothing harmful is happening ...

I'll go back and review the video, it seemed a little contradicting to me.

 

[Burla]

I think the fact metal is dry at start up is why that is when most wear occurs more then contaminated oil. Turn off an engine it is hot, all oil goes away from that and leaves it dry.

Edit,....sorry, I saw it's been posted already.

This guy says it dont matter. Sorry not sure how to post a Youtube Vid so im linking it.

you are aware he posted an uncle tony video?

why we have this info, finally tony got it right, but yes rick great find.

All i know ,is i like my dual set-up with the bigger 30-8A filters.I figure it should give me twice the flow before the bypass comes into play with the filters in parrallel

would a traditional bypass filter be a better choice? Usually used on diesels, but what downside is there to a bypass filter setup as oposed to dual filter?

Watched the vid again and I'm going to keep my place at the front of the line of those "poor 'ol southern folks" are slow to catching on ... that's my excuse.

... must have been that fellers accent.

Both are used on big diesels today, Mike. They used to be separate canisters, Fleetgaurd combined them into a single canister they trade named duplex, about 25 years back.

Yep. Uncle Tony's improving with age. He realizes he makes mistakes now.

What I meant was those duel bypass setup, one bypass filter next to a full flow filter, what downside other then cost would that have on a hemi? They keep good flow? Plus eliminate contamination from oil. I kinda doubt that fleetguard would fit a hemi he?

Yeah, I guess I wasn't clear, I agree by stating how this is routine now days for diesels to help them last longer, then I mixed in a newer type of filter that makes it easier.
It's a terrific architecture for lowest engine wear.
If I weren't so creaky might have replicated Rick's setup.
