On my 2006 Toyota Tacoma, 2.7L, I run a longer oil filter than stock, just to get a bit more filter area.
It calls for a MC FL910-S, Fram Ultra XG3614, or Wix 51348; just a few examples.
I run MC FL400-S, Ultra XG3600, Wix 51516; again, just for a few examples.
According to Fram's website, the bypass pressure for both filters listed above is 12 P.S.I.
The Wix website lists 8-11 P.S.I. for the 51348, but 16 P.S.I. for the 51516.
Does that matter? Is it significant in any way?
If a person lives in NC (versus Barrow Alaska), runs quality oil, and replaces the filter at 10k miles or less; the bypass should never open, correct?
I have never really given this any thought before; when it comes to selecting an oil filter to install.
