Im going from cars here, but i was pretty sure the oil flows from the inside out. Maybe the spring thats behind the filter is the bypass... Maybe if the oil flows from the inside out and it gets clogged the spring behind the hole in the filter compresses and it moves the filter away from the oil filter access door and bypasses that way?
I know you are a standup guy EMS. It comes across in your posts. Not argumentative, but likes a concise discussion. I knew I would log on today and see a picture of some oil bottle with semi-synthetic printed on the label!!
I stand corrected. I am sure as **** that semi-synthetic and synthetic blend are the same. Just hadn't seen the first type of nomenclature (and I worked at NAPA in the past). I wasnt baggin' on ya for workin at a quick lube either. I hope you know this.I do my own mechanical work too. My ole'man was a professional mechanic growing up. I hate and will not pay good money for something to be done that I can do myself, then ultimately be unsatisfied with the end result.

All in good fun, its cool man, believe me i know the reputation quick lubes have. I would have became a mechanic if my dad wasnt. I have seen what it does to your body after 30 years of physical labor.... I was wondering how long til the definition of Hole came up. I dont consider it a hole, what ever it is, one would assume looking at it that oil wont flow through it.
