[QUOTE=Torque1st]The WIX filter above has an internal bypass valve. When the filter clogs the fluid will bypass the filter element and keep flowing. A fuel filter does not have a bypass valve so when the filter clogs up it will either blow out the media and release a ton of dirt into the system or it will completely block off and cause the pressure in the line to rise to the point where the weakest spot blows
From your suggestion I installed a filter on my power steering. When do you change it. If it has a bybass you wouldnt know it was clogged.
