St10060

[Plawan]

I’ve used the ST10060 on my Ram 1500.
I noticed that all the other filters including the mopar filter for this 5.7 Hemi have a bypass valve but the ST10060 does not???
Does anyone know if the 5.7 Hemi needs a bypass valve? I have only done 3 filter changes. Used this filter twice and cut it open and it looks perfectly fine after use.
Used a ph48E this last time. It cost like a dollar more and has a bypass valve but seems about the same otherwise.

I thought that particular filter has a combo bypass/drainback valve?

That makes since now and explains why other than no drainback vale the only difference I could see between this one and the ph48E is it had hole in the bottom back part of the faceplate. Just like in the video wpod linked.

No like for the combo valve here.

May be because I only looked at the MP’s but the ones I looked at had the button bypass valve in the bottom. All of them looked like Champ Lab filters.
