     Ahhh!
     
     -The "old" triad of FORM-FIT-FUNCTION.In the filter's case, both form 
     & fit have changed...before usage ("buyoff" in Mfg.-speak) did 
     function also change?
     
     -If it did, is it beneficial or detrimental to the application and 
     would your "disposition be "use-as-is"?

I got the number for the WIX filters technical hot line off the web (800 949 
6698), I couldn't find a number for Fram but I'm still working on it.
     
WIX says that their replacement for the PH8A (WIX # 51515) indeed does have 
a bypass built into the filter and its activation pressure is 8-11 PSI.  WIX 
claims that many of their other filters do have bypasses but filters 
intended to be used with an adaptor with a bypass delete this feature.
     
Are we convinced yet?
     
BTW, I'll find out if that renault filter has a bypass because if it does 
not that could be bad if you use it on a Ford small block.
