Full flow filters are probably better but look at all the thousands of chevs that survived the bad oil of the 50's. If you change your oil regularly and use good oil, I really can't see the point. After waiting this long, I'm sure that you will change your oil oftener than it needs be anyway. Cummins diesel engines have used a full flow and a bypass filter for the past 50 years. Full flow for the bit stuff and bypass for the smaller trash. If you eliminate the bypass filter, have you gained that much?
