It's my impression that the bypass valve in an oil filter not only
serves to keep the oil flowing when the filter is clogged but it
serves to keep the oil flowing under low temperature conditions.
Not being an "expert" I don't know if this is true or makes sense.
Yes, I agree that tires etc. are more important, but discussion of
"minor" parts is networthy.
