How A Base End Bypass Valve Works On An Oil Filter, Base End Bypass Valve

[@WhipCityWrencher]

This bypass valve came off of a FVP oil filter, here's a link to the video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/q37RqYCnrtiGeZY

Really love the time you take to educate people about oil filters. I need to send you the new Subaru Tokyo Roki oil filter

[@WhipCityWrencher]

I made a video on one, and it will be shown on Friday, Oct. 20th

Good tutorial, thanks. I wonder how much unfiltered oil goes through there. A lot I bet.

A good explanation Pete 👍. Good video and sharing. Merri :)

Thank you for your vy

[@scottymoondogjakubin4766]

Very intriguing design ! But the oil filter would have to be mounted vertically and could probably allow unfiltered oil into the engine ! That and very cold weather ! great video ! 👍

Obviously this is more expensive to make or everyone would use it? Be nice to know which filters have this style versus the leaf spring type. Thanks for the video!

You're Welcome!👍

Motorcraft FL-1A filters used to have those. I'm not sure if they still do.

[@WhipCityWrencher]

That's one Motorcraft that has changed, I opened one up a year ago. Here's the link, kzbin.info/www/bejne/rYDFgqCQiauFj9U&ab_channel=WhipCityWrencher

[@heyboy33333]

Great video! Can you give us a brief list of some filters that have the base end bypass valve? I know the motocraft filters do, but who else?

[@WhipCityWrencher]

There may be others but the only ones I can think of are this FVP in the video, Mopar, and like you said Motorcraft. Manufacturers don't use these anymore and it's probably because they cost more.

[@ED-ti5tc]

Be nice if that was standard on all oil filters.

[@faxmen09]

Nice demo Whip. Unfortunately, if you really like these, M&H is gradually moving Wix away from shown base end bypass pieces, to dome. Just looking at it you can see how they would be more expensive to produce than dome bypass. The upside especially on smaller filters, more room for larger element, more media. As for bypass event, I'd say very cold start, especially with higher viscosity oil, more common for bypass. If your filter so loaded that it's in bypass, a very poorly maintained engine, or the engine has serious issues. Personally, I'm ok with dome or base, most filters use dome including most OEM. Thanks for demo.

[@WhipCityWrencher]

You're Welcome Faxmen09, and Thanks👍

[@faxmen09]

@@01mustang05 OKayyyy, 🤣 Since you asked here's it is. A dome bypass or dome bypass valve (same thing) is the bypass valve located in the dome (looks like a dome) of an oil filter. There's two ends of a filter, the base end, and the other end commonly referred to as the dome end. That description much more accurate than say, top or bottom, because that changes based on filter orientation. Topic Wix has bypass in base end, most filters have it in opposite end, i.e.,the dome end. Hope that helps. 😃

[@LTVoyager]

I fail to see any big advantage to having the bypass valve on the base versus the other end. Both do the same thing at the end of the day.

[@WhipCityWrencher]

With a bypass on the base end, the oil doesn't have to go all the way to the other end of the oil filter and this makes less of a chance of dislodging any loose particles like excess glue from the filter media, especially useful with a vertically mounted oil filter. Thanks!

[@ginog5037]

Great video Pete, high quality bypass. Too bad so many cars run on the bypass. Due to lack of maintenance and poor or wrong oil type...

[@WhipCityWrencher]

Thanks👍

[@XenomorphLV426]

Before the bypass valve, how common was failure for engines?

[@johnrommelt6560]

Is that motorcraft

[@WhipCityWrencher]

No, this came off of an FVP oil filter, sorry I forgot to put a link to the video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/q37RqYCnrtiGeZY

[@frederickwoodard9551]

Most all good oil filters have anti-drain back valves it is the El-Cheapo ones that don’t have it. The top 5 oil filters are: Amsoil, Mobil 1 Extended Performance, K&N, Fram, and Purolator.

[@WhipCityWrencher]

The oil filters that dont have bypass valves are the ones that are meant to go on engines that already have their own bypass valves in the engine. kzbin.info/www/bejne/r2m6oXp7a7ikjtk&ab_channel=Scruf%27sGarage

[@Antiliblife187]

Fram😂

[@frederickwoodard9551]

@@Antiliblife187 I hate tell you this Fram is lot better oil filter than people think even their El-Cheapo oil orange can filter can last 10,000-miles on an oil change interval (OCI) and I have looked this up the Frame Xtra Guard Ultra Synthetic can go 20,000-miles on a OCI. If you buy their top of the line oil filter called Fram Endurance Guard it will last 25,000-miles on a OCI. I personally prefer either Mobil 1 or K&N because Mobil 1 has a higher percentage in micron filtration greater than 30-microns. I also like K&N oil filters for two reasons if you are a DIY guy you don’t need a special filter wrench 🔧 all you need is a 1” open end nut wrench 🔧 or a socket wrench 🔧 that is 1” in width on the end of a 1/2 inch drive ratchet wrench 🔧 because there is a nut at the bottom of a K&N filter. Also, it can handle 150-PSI in oil pressure which, is way more PSI than any street car will ever see. It tells how durable that filter is and it is racing inspired oil filter. 🙂

[@JM-tz1np]

Made by Purolator filters are equipped with this kind of by-pass. I dont know if only Purolator uses this kind of solution. Purolator make filters for other brands.

[@WhipCityWrencher]

Wix used to have them on their oil filters too.

@@WhipCityWrencher Thanks. At least it will not be as long of a recovery as bone spur removal from my left foot a couple decades ago. That took 13 months for the pain to go away from that surgery as walking on it just kept irritating it.

[@MidNightRider2001]

I don't think that I can buy an oil filter without a bypass valve ever again.

[@WhipCityWrencher]

Most have bypass valves the ones that dont need them won't fit your vehicle.

[@daewooparts]

Chances is if your filter is that clogged, your engine is going to be clogged & cooked as well

[@Gary7even]

In a modern engine, with modern oils, if your filter is clogged with particulates big enough to wash off and go into your engine through a top-end bypass valve, you've got bigger problems. The sole function of a bypass valve in a modern engine is to ensure oil flow when the oil is so cold (and thick) that it can't readily make it through the element. The base-end bypass valve was developed back when engine sludging was a real (and common) issue, therefore the need for having the oil bypass the filter element before it flows over the element.

[@junboo8730]

Agree but still a lot of people don’t change the oil. This would save an engine from starvation. Less dirty oil or not.

[@GT-mn3bx]

Extended drain intervals is why so many engines blow up today. Then you read people change their oil but not filter. Dumbest thing I've ever heard of.
