Oil filter change vs oil change
Thanks for the opinions. The biggest reason for the question was if there is any benefit to using a non bypass oil filter with filter changes more often. I understand that the PRV is there in case a filter clogs. Also, dirty oil is better than no oil. But if using a non-bypass filter and someone is not careful and a filter clogs, oil pressure drops, or does it? What I have read is that the pressure from the pump would tear apart the filter rendering it useless. AND, you would not know it.
Oil lifters are cheap compared to complete oil change, $15 vs + $45
It seems safer to run a bypass filter in a street car and change it often. I put less that 2000 miles per year on mine and I change it in the springtime, oil and filter. Wix filter and Royal Purple Duralec 10-30, a diesel oil that is also engineered for gas cars with proper zinc for my flat tappet cam.
