This is a different subject from the above.
I have measured the Oil Pressure of the Oil from the Center of the Oil Filter Cap and that would be the Oil that has gone through the Bypass/Fine section of the Oil Filter and also the Pressure out side of the Oil Filter and with a New Oil Filer the Pressures were the same.

Ihave other stuff hooked up on the Oil Filter Cap now but in the pic you can see where I drilled through.
Interesting set up there - have you got any data?

As for the way in which the oil goes into the filter from the outside in - I have seen that and it is clearly shown in the schematics in the FSM as well. I still don't think the pressure would necessarily be the same at all points all the time though - I'm a stubborn git I know!

However, I'm not so stubborn not be interested in your measurements. I am very interested in your measurements.
