Champion Labs/STP S2 Oil Filter Cut Open

River_rat in the linked thread does a decent job of explaining how Champ combo valve is supposed to work. The second inner set of holes,( not shown in the OP's vid/pics) are the bypass holes. Instead of using Wix's channels built into the nitrile grommet, Champ design diverts the flow of the oil to the inner bypass holes when a certain psid is reached. Note comments in link too.

And note like Wix's design it too is patented. Can't see how with either design though one would know how the bypass was operating correctly during operation. I'll stick with traditional separate adbv and metal bypass.

Second inner set of holes for bypass can be seen in the Champ cut away.

Wonder where ol' river_rat is these days ... he hasn't posted since Sep 2012.
 
Interesting thanks sayjac. My comment on the "not working" was the fact it was a combo valve and the other part of the "combo" is the ADBV. The ADBV was so bad it gave me start up rattle in summer. I made it 6 days and took it off.

Amazon.com would be a different story. Or Imageshack.com.

Last I touched base here, sounded as though he was focusing on other things. I also know he was having some major issues with his back and back pain. Good guy though, and an asset on Bitog especially on this board.

And I still marvel at how his basement filtration testing turned out to not only be aligned with ISO testing, in the case of no endcap filters like Toyota/Denso, predictive. So calling it 'basement' is not indicative of the results. Hope he's doing ok.
 
Yeah, River_rat was 1 of my favorite poster on this forum. His test of various filters was very well done. Wish him well in whatever he's doing.
