does a larger oil filter mean quicker circulation of oil , equaling better cooling and less deposits do due less heat ? Thanks
No but better filtered oil if the same element is used.Quote:

What he's saying is that if the same media (as in level of filtration) is used ..over a larger surface area ..the flow will be reduced in velocity ..thereby increasing its efficiency. The slower the flow for any given media, the better the filtering. Particles embed or get snagged that would normally blow through.

Thanks, would there be any effect of the lower flow versus a higher flow? Another words, if it filters better due to it slowing down, does the slowdown affect performance any?
Thanks.

The action appeared to be due to just the effort (energy-mechanical action) to get the static cold fluid in motion. Spinning its tires for a few seconds. The bypass valve, outside of loading, should never be in use unless your pump output and flow to the engine is not at unity. That's when your oil pump is in relief. When the relief is closed ..then there will be no substantial PSID outside of what loading contributes to. It would take a whole lot of loading, in my estimate based on what a 10k filter had on it, to have you routinely in bypass mode. After my oil pressure was below my 82 psi relief limit, I wound out the engine to WOT in 2nd gear (no tach) with the oil @ 140-150F and managed to produce around 4-5 PSID. So, essentially, the baseline loading creates a variable, reactive, resistance due to the added energy require to accelerate the fluid through the partially saturated media. This energy is reduce as the oil heats. New(er) filters don't even result as a blip on the radar in my observations. YMMV.
