Since I don't need a temp gauge or an oil cooler I figured I would install a psid indicator that I salvaged off some junked filter heads. Shop air testing shows the needle will start to move at about 5psid and are in the red at about 20psid. So what I'll do when I change the oil is if the filter indicator isn't in the red, I'll take the oil filter off, turn it upside down, drain it and put it back on. As the filter bypasses at about 22psid. Might as well get all of my $13 out of it.
