Smile Oil Questions

What is the bypass rating?
Relief valve opening pressure?
Does the bypass opens at 14 psi allow the oil to bypass the filter? Then how much oil is really filtered? If our motors have 50 psi on the oil system how does this work?
I understand that the manufactory build a bypass into their filters because people do not change the filters and they clog up stopping any oil from passing thru. Thus lawsuit for a new motor, because I to dumb to take care of my old motor!
