Okay, here's a question for all y'all. Why wouldn't you/we/I want our
street car's oil filter to have no bypass and run "full flow" all the time?
Especially if you're that meticulous (as I am and suspect the rest of you to
be as well) about your car maintainance schedule? I suspect, but am not
positive, the reason for the bypass to be when the filter gets totally
clogged with crud that oil will still flow through the system. Right?
Educate me a bit on the bypass sytem of an oil filter. Please.

>From past experience, the Fram competition filters are made with a much
heavier cannister thickness and base plate. They leave out the bypass valve
so the filter is always on full flow. It is my understanding that there is
more filter media in these filters.
