Maintaining same oil bypass PSI as Subaru OEM?

[CleanSump]

Purple screenshot is what shows up at the bottom of the page for me on mobile.
The other is the home page. I have no idea where you are getting your pic from. It appears nowhere on the website I linked on mobile. Everything from the verbiage, social accounts, address, etc checks out.

In either case, I'm not worried about it.

Carquest states 15psi.

Hard to believe anything the O'Reilly q&a says when they erroneously state there isn't any micron filtration rating for the Mobil 1 oil filter. Something that could be discovered with 10 seconds on Google

As @ZeeOSix posted, it is on the homepage of the link you gave. Maybe your mobile phone browser doesn't show it, but arguing it isn't on the homepage won't make it so.

 

[Fair enough]

From what I've gathered by reading older posts here and elsewhere I may have found my answer

It seems that the 23 PSI bypass is likely just a reflection of the filtering material of the OEM Subaru filter itself rather than an engineering decision made specifically for the motor.

Meaning, if Subaru wanted their OEM filters to spec synthetic filtering media like that found in Mobil 1 filters, then the bypass rating would then be lowered.

At least that's my understanding at this time.

Given the flow rate of Mobil 1 or TG/UG filters, short OCI, mild climate, and gently driving the car until the oil is warmed up I doubt a lower bypass rating is going make a difference.

If in doubt I see the microguard select has an 18psi to 20psi rating. IE....close enough

If someone can see the error in my logic I'm all ears, though

I don’t keep up with oil filters made in Vietnam or China so much, not interested, but Mobil 1 used to always be synthetic blend. Now they are made in Asia.
To help with the technical notion of Subaru filter media restriction this man has inspected many different filters. The made in Japan filters usually look porous like swiss cheese for some unknown reason. There is a search window to narrow his findings to Subaru.
