The centre hole in the oil filter is the exit of the filtered oil and that goes directly into the engine.
For anyone with a sandwich plate and oil cooler the oil flow is this:
• Oil pump
• Sandwich plate
• Oil cooler
• Engine oil filter
• To engine
This is a good setup as the oil filter is the "last in line". (love that song by Ronnie James Dio!!)
Just be aware your indicated oil pressure is not the oil pressure inside the engine (after the oil filter)
The stock design flow is:
• Oil pump
• Engine oil filter
• To engine
