I don’t really pretend to understand a lot of this, but does that “None” indicate a lack of bypass at start up (ie a good thing)? And that my setup with the 51042 is preferable to that with the 51348? Or am I totally off-base on this? Educate me, please  |
No bypass means 100% filtration 100% of the time; no unfiltered oil, ever. This style filter has been used on several high output factory engines for years without issues.
