100% No-Bypass Oil Filtration
I like the idea of the LN Engineering spin on filter adapter, if anything from a simplicity perspective, but I do have some concern about the 100% no-bypass design. I've read where filter media has been crushed with this design (not specifically the LN engineering design, but rather no-bypass in general), which sent filter particles into the engine, not to mention filter failure.
I realize that the filters used in this design are "high flow," but what safety measure is available in a scenario where by-pass is required? It seems the only two options are the filter media gets crushed, and/or the filter itself fails catastrophically.
For the record, I'm not of the belief that Porsche engineers have made perfect decisions over the years, particularly as a prior owner of 911's/Carrera's. There are many, many aftermarket improvements that have bettered Porsche's original designs, so I don't accept Porsche engineering as the end-all.
Thoughts on the filter situation?
