how much of the oil is filtered each time it passes through the filter?
How many times would 5 qts of oil have to pass through the filter for all of it to be filtered at least one time?

Here's a good explanation of how a bypass valve works - to allow oil to flow to the engine when oil is too cold to provide adequate flow through the filter, or when it's plugged up.
Under normal operating conditions, the by-pass valve will not be open. When the by-pass valve does open, the oil flows directly to the engine to prevent oil starvation and damage to the engine components. Each by-pass valve is set to open at a predetermined pressure differential.
