Nice thread going here dvldoc. Thanks for sharing...

Anyway, just wanted to get more inputs from you, as you would know that the driving conditions here are typically warmer, and considered "heavy duty" especially if one drives in Manila's bumper-to-bumper traffic. So assuming that if most of the time, the vehicle is on idle or low speed, would you still advise having the by-pass or just changing to a bigger and better filter? I'm concerned about oil pressure. Would I need to install gauge then? How low is "acceptable low" when it comes to pressure?

I have a thousand questions in my mind, and am a firm believer in replenishing fluids faithfully so your thread is very helpful, indeed. Keep it up...

Please, don't mind the vermin roaming around...let's just "filter it out."
