I have seen cars that have lost these during non-OEM oil changes and have ran for years with NO oil filtering what so ever ( NOT HEALTHY ).
Leading evidence: 'Run years' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Recommend way' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I went back and removed that 'extra' piece and oil pressure was back to normal.
question regarding where the oil filter cartridge slides onto. When I unscrewed the plastic housing and pulled off the old filter I had a metal piece with a spring, come off with the cartridge. I have no idea why it came off with the old filter but when I reinstalled everything I was getting a low oil pressure warning. I went back and removed that 'extra' piece and oil pressure was back to normal. I am baffled and last oil change was over a year ago and do not remember that piece being an issue.
Oil filter by-pass that should be attached to the bottom of the oil filter canister. I don't think it is a good thing to not have that in your canister! Not sure a good idea to leave it that way. More informed will check in on this issue. Good time to install the LN spin on filter adapter.
crap !! --- you are probably correct. Here I'm thinking that it somehow came from the top of the filter. What a dope I am. It most likely fell out of the cannister when I was unscrewing it and dropped it in the oil waste pan. Thanks so much !!!

This allows you to use a spin-on filter. The right spin-on filters eliminate the filter by-pass which is a good thing. That way all of your oil gets filtered. If the by-pass in the original canister fails it could by-pass oil for a long time. Not healthy for an engine. Yours has come loose from the bottom of the plastic filter container.
Money well spent!
so I undid the cannister, popped the bypass into the bottom of the filter and reassembled everything...I will get one of these LN adapters. Much neater and probably more efficient. Oh, and NICE COLOR YOU HAVE...
...Seal Gray ?
I think thats where it ends up anyway, since it seems to fit snuggly on the back end of the filter...pressure is a bit high right now but all else seems ok.
I took the filter housing off AGAIN...and was able to snap the bypass back into the bottom of the cannister.
Everything is back in place and looks (sounds) good. Thanks very much for pointing me in the right direction !
I would get a new OE filter canister or better yet, install the spin-on filter from LN. That canister is structurally compromised, which may lead to oil bypassing the filter altogether without you noticing it.
Some filters fit tighter than others. I have seen some non-OEM filters fit SO TIGHT that they pull the by-pass assembly off the bottom of the canister when removed. This assembly just saps on and off the bottom of the canister, and seals the bottom of the filter. If this is left out the complete bottom is unsealed and will filter NO oil. I have seen cars that have lost these during non-OEM oil changes and have ran for years with NO oil filtering what so ever ( NOT HEALTHY ). Luckily they suffered no noticeable ill effects.
FOR OFF ROAD USE ONLY : The metal valve and spring can be flipped or removed and sealed to force all oil to be filtered and NEVER by-pass. Use of a high quality filter like K&N 7011 would be necessary to handle increase in pressure differential at times.
