[DML] Re: oil filters

[srubano@xxxx]

He's right. The check valve is spring loaded thus requiring more 
pressure to push it open. This is what causes the higher oil 
pressure. Since the engine (or i should say oil pump) wasn't desinged 
to be used with a check valve, your putting more strain on it.

Sort of like putting your thumb over a hose....the more pressure 
(resitance) you apply with your thumb over the hose opening...the 
higher the pressure of the water.
