Flip, that's horrendous, given the relative low cost of material what's the point.

Hopefully mine never gets to use the bypass media as changed twice a year, 5k miles max.

I would be interested to see if the mesh type have any impact on performance, pretty familiar with oil pressure readings at various temps - will give it a try, might even chop the old MANN unit up to see if bypass media has been used.

Theoretically the bypass media should be clean as around 3k of mileage so far.
