Basically the bypass oil filter system only filters 10 percent of the volume of what is going through the engine (hence the name "bypass") how ever it uses a filter which has a finer filtration (catches smaller particles) than a modern full flow filtering system (some heavy plant uses both systems)
The bypass system clogs over time if not changed, whereas the full flow system has a valve which lets the dirty oil go around the element when it's loaded up.
I have no clue what a Camden blower is (Rootes,vane type???) but perfectly clean air and perfectly clean oil would be the best possible situation.
