I remember my Dad's old 1948 Chevy pick-up truck and his 1952 Ford car. Both had bypass oil filters and no full flow oil filter. Both ran great for a long, long time. Some people at this web site have talked about how with some full flow oil filters they had valve train noise and low oil pressure at start -up. Well, my Dad's old truck and old car ran just fine at start-up.
And it was easy as can be to change out the bypass oil filter element located near the top of the engines. A little messy, but super easy. You could even add oil when you put the new element in so that there would not be a shortage of oil at start-up.
Is it really necessary to have a full flow oil filter? Is a bypass oil filter good enough? All of the oil gets filtered eventually anyway by a bypass oil filter, and furthermore gets filtered better, with no oil pressure problems.
