Paully Posted October 20, 2017 Report Share Posted October 20, 2017 Had been having oil changes done by dealer but moved out of the area so now they wont cover them anymore. No surprise there but , while changing my own oil / filter i noticed the cheap little plastic bypass valve in the filter assy. had broken apart. So heads up when you do a filter change to check this little plastic piece of crap ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onecrazyfoo4u Posted December 29, 2017 Report Share Posted December 29, 2017 Mine broke about a year ago too. I never replaced it. So what exactly does it do? What problems is it going to cause by not replacing it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N87 Posted December 29, 2017 Report Share Posted December 29, 2017 In conventional oil filters, by-pass valve allows oil flowing in case the filtration element gets clogged up. jkeaton 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N87 Posted December 29, 2017 Report Share Posted December 29, 2017 BTW, Here is a video on what it is and how to order/replace the by-pass oil filter valve for 3.6 Pentastar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onecrazyfoo4u Posted December 30, 2017 Report Share Posted December 30, 2017 Thanks for the video. I didn't realize it was such an important piece. I'll have to order a replacement for my next oil change. N87 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
