Elevated ZDDC in RedLine oil does burn up (eventually) the cat; but it also provides the extra protection that later oils (1998'ish - present) do not so it's worth it to me...
Since someone brought this thread back from the dead.....

I wish folks would do some research before posting incorrect information and starting internet rumor.

Purolator oil filters DO have a bypass valve as well as an anti drain back valve. They're one of the best oil filters for the money you can buy. Matter of fact, I don't know if you can even find an oil filter without a bypass valve anymore.

It's spring loaded steel and can be seen in the picture of a dissected PureOne filter below.

Here is a link to a thread with a very detailed oil filter analysis including filtration efficiency and flow capability: The OFFICIAL Oil Filter Testing and Results Thread (4G63T/4B11T) - evolutionm.net

Very informative.
