Does anybody know where Baldwin states the efficiency of their automotive oil filters?

I couldn't find them published anywhere but an email to them through their website got a quick response with the info.

They don't publish them,you need to call or email they will be happy to help you.
Baldwin get their automotive filters primarily from Hastings filter who they bought years ago.
I emailed them and they did respond very promptly with the info I asked for, although I wasn't very impressed by the specs.
"The type of media in the B1402 is cellulose. The micron filtration rate is 23 Nominal; 45 Absolute; 75.98% average efficiency."

That's not as good as the spec's I got from them for the numbers I use. (I can't remember the numbers, one was a BT223.)
So it looks like the different filters vary quite a lot in efficiency.

Not impressive at all,,i too called a few times on p/n and wasn't impressed by the numbers,too bad too as these are quality built filters.
For the BT223 they sent me...
Media:L60-50
Area sq. in:163.63
Capacity grams:11.45
Estab. Micron Rating:18
BX=2/BX=75:18/40
Average Efficiency:74.65%

Means,
50% @ 18 microns
98.7% @ 40 microns (same as a small Purolator Classic)

Not sure what that means ... maybe the efficiency at 20 microns?

I found it, it was the B243 that was 99.96% at 30 microns, 50% @ 12 microns, and 85.44% average efficiency. Not too bad, but not excelellent. The BT233 is the smaller of the two, and you're right, not super.

No that is all micron sizes tested. It could be as small as 2 microns on up, I think.
Anyone got a link to what Baldwin means by "average efficiency of 85.44%"?
