Hi, Don---Let's say that you and the Bentley manual are right, and oil does
flow from the outside to the inside of the filter. How then would the filter
bi-pass work, as it looks like pressure from the inside out is necessary push
the spring loaded bi-pass valve off it's seat, to let oil flow? (If the filter
won't the oil pass thru).

I'm saying no. It is my understanding that all filters commonly flow from
the outside in, as this maximizes the filtering area.
