Sorry for the inconvience I have caused you o great one.

Why it would be so important to change the oil filter in the first place, IF the engine is spitting up enough metal shavings(from the bearings) to clog the filter lol. I guess if you didn't hear any noise and kept driving, managing not to SEIZE the crank, there would be enough to clog the filter and the bypass would open. The oil would then start to distribute the metal to the cams and lifters.
