 Posted: Fri Jul 01, 2005 8:39 am Post subject: Oil bypass switch |
 |
|
I have a porsche type bypass filter on my car. The oil line to the filter is before the oil switch. This is not really an issue until the car is at idle. The oil still bypasses the oil pressure switch and causes the oil light to come on. I would like to have an oil bypass switch to stop the flow of oil to the filter at low pressure situations like at idle.
I have been looking for a switch I could use but have not found any. Does anyone know of a source of such a switch.

The bypass oil line is where the oil switch is. If my drawing show up right you can see the oil line to the bypass filter is before the pressure sensor. At idle this bleeds pressure away from the sensor causing the light to come on and lowering the oil pressure. I would like to stop the flow of oil to the bypass filter at idle so it builds pressure.
