The bypass filter is for a PSI DIFFERENTIAL across the filter elements. In the K&N filter, it has a bypass setting of 15 PSI. That means, if the filter elements get clogged, and they block flow, and pressure across...
There are a few great threads on here about 0w20 vs 5w30. Couple papers also, written by boosted6, IIRC.

So, I disconnected the oil control solenoid. Oil pressure is ALWAYS 55 PSI. (Awesome). However, if make a hard acceleration, I get a check engine light. OBDII code is P06DA .
I can clear it, no problem.
