Out of curiosity, assuming we follow factory recommendations on oci, filter and oil. How often do oil filters go into bypass?
For instance, I have and Ford 5.0, I follow the OLM, Use Motorcraft FL-500S and MC Synblend 5W-20 per user manual. Does the filter go into bypass at all during its service life if I do what the factory consider normal duty driving? Or does it go into bypass every time I start the engine? Or accelerate on the freeway when the RPMs goes up?
