Narrative:

The problem began on flight as I started the #1 engine. The oil filter bypass light started to flicker. I shut down the #1 engine and returned to the gate. Contract maintenance replaced the filter which was followed by good results of an engine run-up. The aircraft was then ferried to pit. There was no indication of any problem until I was in the approach phase of the flight. I was level at 10000 ft indicating 250 KTS and over the cutta intersection when the oil filter bypass light for engine #1 came on and stayed on. When I contacted pit approach, I advised that air carrier flight number was in the process of shutting down one of the engines and declaring an emergency. With time and vectoring the oil filter bypass non normal and engine shutdown checklists were accomplished followed by a single engine landing on runway 28R. The emergency equipment was canceled upon clearing the runway. I then taxied the aircraft to the assigned gate.
