I am changing my oil and noticed a plastic section with a round metal piece in the middle at the inside bottom of the Black filter
canister.It that just to support the filter or is there some kind of bypass built into the housing.If so how to u test it?
Thx

Forgot to add, have you noticed any difference in oil filters, aftermarket (Wix,ect) compared to the stock Porsche unit in Microns.
I have been using the Carquest units and they look vert similar but I notice that they start to cave in or distort pleats if left on for say 10000 kilometres (7000 miles)
or is that more to do with the design.

I decided to call Porsch an ask.They tell me that there is NO BYPASS built into the Canister so I'm not sure what LN is referring to.I really wish it was easier
to get a strait answer on this.Maybe some years did and some did not.I wonder if Pedro could chime in and help confirm!

I have an extra one of these oil filter canisters that I alternate when changing the oil so i can clean and inspect at leisure when I have plenty of time. The round raised section with the rivet in the center at the bottom is stationary, does not move and seems to just be a receiver section for the filter to fit into.
