So Moto Guzzi uses UFI 23.287.00 as the OEM oil filter on their big block v-twins (1151cc i.e. "1200"). The 23.287.00 has a bypass relief valve pressure spec of 1.2 bar which equates to 17 or 18 psi. AFAIK, none of the after market filters have that high of an opening pressure threshold spec, most are about 8 - 11psi. Moto Guzzi also specs 10W60 motor oil.
Should I be concerned about an after market oil filter going into bypass too often on cold starts? Just bought a HiFlo Filtro HF551 . . .
