The consensus seems to be that bypass filters need only be changed every second or third time one changes the oil and the full flow filter. My question is how to do this and both:
If I just leave the oil in the bypass and change the rest, I don't open the system and introduce dirt but I also don't change all of the oil and I mess up the consistency of my UOAs.
If I remove the element and allow it to drain I run the risk of introducing dirt unless I can figure out how to do this very cleanly in my dusty environment.
I just bled my brakes with a power bleeder and it worked great. I am wondering if I can use it to blow the oil out of the by pass element.
Will it work without damaging the filter?
I could use the power bleeder to refill it too if I could be quick on the shut-off.
Any thoughts? Advice?
I have decided to put the full 12,500 on this oil so I have some time to figure out how to do this right.
Thanks!
- Change all of the oil
- Not get dirt and dust in the filter or system
