My guess is that the 13 psi refers to the pressure differential between the
"dirty side" and the "clean side" of the filter that will send oil straight
to the engine. In other words, when the filter becomes plugged, or in
extremely cold weather, oil will start to bypass the filter when there is
more than 13 psi difference between the two sides of the filter media.

i have the modern oil filter on my TR3.
been using the fram TG3600.
took at look at their website today and was surprised to see that they have
the pressure relief valve set at only 12 psi.
am i reading this wrong?
am i not understanding?
what that is suggesting to me that is at 13psi of oil pressure i will be
bypassing the filter and sending sump oil straight through my motor
unfiltered? no?
what other filters will fit this application?
thanks
Frank
