The Filter By-Pass Valve

Do you know what a By-Pass Valve is?  Are you using one?

By-pass Valve Assembly — spring loaded valve assembly that allows oil to by-pass the element under high-differential pressure conditions such as cold oil and/or excessively contaminated media. This allows lubrication of the engine, but without full-flow filtration.

If a WIX full-flow filter becomes “clogged”, or excessively restrictive to oil flow, the filter by-pass valve ensures continued engine lubrication by allowing the oil to by-pass the filter.
