There are still others of us that realize deltaP large enough to trip the bypass is a very rare occurrence, and we don't worry about it.
Of all the engines I've owned and operated over the years, I've have never, ever had a piece of equipment fail due to the bypass setting ....
To each his own.
Once again, the voice of reason.
I do have to admit, though, that having this forum where people can and do question things like this has lead to a much better understanding of lubrication and filtration for the common man such as myself.
The downside is that I was much happier when I was ignorant and didn't spend hours agonizing whether to use PP or QSUD for my next OCI...
I hate you all.
+1 I hate you all too, as if I wasn't OCD enough already haha.
But seriously ever since I've learned of this site/started doing my own oil changes, nothing have been on my cars except purolators, and no issues yet. I think the classic and pureones are the best bang for buck in there respective fields.
However I won't lie, the higher bypass rating does bother me, but then again the engineers at purolator probably know at least a little more about oil filters than me
