Oil Filter Bypass Pressure

I recently acquired a 2020 Maxima and am coming up on the time to do an oil change. For some reason I can't find the published bypass pressure for 15208-65F1B oil filter. I did find on a blog based in New Zealand they stated it as 1bar (approx 14.5psi), but don't know how much to trust this value.
The 'alternatives' from various crossover lists show the pressures ranging from 8psi up to 16psi. Does anyone know the value for sure? Secondarily, how much does it matter?

thanks in advance

Went to the dealer and they said that 15208-65F0E was the correct filter even though their system said it was only good for cars manufactured before Nov 2018.
The specs in their system say to use 15208-65F1B for cars made after Nov 2018 through now..............but they said that they use the F0E filter on almost all of the cars in for service. I don't get it

They did have F1B filters in stock, so I got a couple of them.
