That doesn't look like a trade-off I'd make on a vehicle I was planning on putting 250k on.

You have a point, but in this case the bypass valve pressure is the same for either filter. When I first looked in to this (see my old thread a few up^ ), me and the gentleman at NAPA cross referenced everything in thier big oil filter book, and they were the same. I can't remeber what the rating was now, though...
