Hey guys-
I've been playing around with larger filters on a number of cars. These filters don't always have the same bypass valve pressure rating as the OEM filters. However, they are significantly larger in size and flow(sometimes up to 3x original filter size). Given the large amount of media and flow, would this not reduce the pressure differential across the media at any given time? Thereby reducing the amount of time the bypass valve is in operation, and potentially rendering the valve inoperative??
