    Bjorn, Differencial pressure of 15 psi is needed for bypass valve to be open, which means that 15psi have to be maitain at all times, but it also mean that measuring across the filters that pressure cannot be higher!!! with present setup./ bypass in this case means parallel/. As far, as old can...

    Answer is: yes and yes, highway drive ~50mph temp. steady 180deg., oil fresh synthetic RotellaT 5W-40, filters brand New Wix 51970 XD, seems like the headache never stops, and like you said increasing filter media surface should help/third parallel filter/. Somehow there is always good and bad...

    OK! here are the pictures that additional port provides more flexibility, My next concern is a filters bypass valve that opens ~ 1800 RPM w two parallel 51970XD Wix filters simply measuring pre and post filter pressure w two identical up to 100psi mechanical gauges

    ..... Can anyone suggest another option/ port? JimK I believe there is another option if you use filter adapters that I design. I wish I know how to post the pictures. Best regards, George C. Tampa,Florida
