First oil change

[Pdwight]

I am in no way trying to start a thread war or argument, I simply want to know if it helps or is better.

Thanks

The rationale is that the stock filter canister has a built-in bypass that can (especially when it gets as old as most of our cars are now) allow oil to go unfiltered. Not a good scenario when there are contaminants in the oil. The spin on is full flow with no crappy bypass.

As I understand it, some oil is bypassed until the cams and such get oil. Don't know if it's controlled by pressure or time. If any engine issue makes shavings, the spin on adapt never allows any unfiltered oil past.
