Larger filters on standard cars?
There's a school of thought which says that enlarging the oil filter on your car is A Good Thing. Why is this?
The small oil filters fitted to engines these days run with quite a high back pressure, and the bypass valve trips at about 3500rpm. That means that your oil is not being filtered when the engine is spinning faster than 3500rpm.

does this mean that if I'm cruising down the freeway in 5th gear at 80 mph (4,000 RPMs) that my oil is not being filtered?

he said : school of thought


so its not 100% accurate.

1) oil filters are design for the car.
2) oil pumps vary and create different oil pressure at different rates
3) bypass does not mean no oil to the engine, it just means join goes through the filter without being filered.

makes you want to buy a higher quality filter huh?
