New guy, asking because I'm not entirely clear on the bypass function. I did search here & didn't see a clear answer to this question. I had a Subaru that used 20x1.5 thread filters with a bypass rating around 23 PSI, sold the car, still have some filters. I'm looking at a motorcycle that uses the same thread size as well as mounting gasket. Height is about the same, the diameter is within .05 inches, but the bike filter calls for 11-14 PSI bypass. The bike uses 10w40. I'm in the SE US, so never see air temps below maybe 20F, and that's rare. From what I've read here & elsewhere it's unlikely I'll ever use the bypass function. I change oil in my bike every 3K miles, it's a commuter so this ends up being like every 3-4 months.
Could I use these filters? Thanks for any positive advice.
