So the LN adapter would rid the vehicle of a the bypass - Is the bypass built into the plastic cartridge cover or up in the mounting area? - Just did on oil change but did not take a hard look - The spin on oil filter will have its own built in bypass?

If the stock bypass springs get week over time and end up bypassing the filter is there a way to change out just the spring?

The spin on adapter is 100% filtered, no bypass.

There is no way to replace the spring in the stock filter housing, but you can replace the housing quite cheaply - about $20 IIRC.

Do you have part numbers, please? Which other elements need to be replaced with the housing?
