No stock filter that I know of "functions in the same way" as a gulf coat filters bypass setup.
These filters are setup in bypass and filter a small % of oil to around 1 Mircron where as the finest full flow oil filters filter to 30 micron. 2-29 micron particles are not that big of a deal unless there are a lot of them, which is one reason why we dump the oil out of most engines from time to time.
