A bypass oil filter has a valve in it. When the filter media plugs up, the valve open and the oil bypasses the oil filter. It prevents extreme pressure buildup in the oil filter that could blow out the media.
Also, many engines use a bypass oil filtration system where only a portion of the oil goes through the filter at any time. All the oil eventually gets filtered.
Yes. Oil can pass through filter paper sucsessfully.
Drain plug is on the bottom of the oil pan. Oil filter is in front of the pan on the 3.8L and to the pass side on the 3.5L.
For an example, Chevrolet has that feature built into the oil filter housing. If the engine demands more oil than the filter can pass, the oil filter is by-passed thru a relief valve designed into the engine.
Probably doesn't have one. The filter (by-pass) was an option.
Yes it will, especially if you help it with a vacuum
You need to pass the oil through a filter, warm the oil (don't try to do it with hot oil it's too dangerous) and pass it through a wire strainer to remove the large bits, then through a paper filter such as a coffee filter or kitchen towel.
Rear pass side, just above the oil pan.
It is on the pass side of the rear of the engine.
225 slant six engine? Could be a leaky oil pressure sending unit located just below the oil filter.
Oil can pass through filter paper. Also bear in mind that there are different grades of filter paper. I personally have filtered oil very successfully, using an ordinary paper towel as my filter paper.
