You are arguing that it is more informed. I'm countering (as is @ZeeOSix) that your argument as to *how* it is more informed is utter nonsense.First, I'm in no way saying my buying choice is "Superior". That is your words & narrative not mine.
Dude, the guy you were arguing with, @BrendanC was talking about two FRAM filters, in a thread with the FRAM Ultra in the bloody title:Purolators come with an ISO test on the individual filters which is what I like. When I say how much I like it I usually get some on here riled up about how terrible they are etc. Then they'll say why don't you run X brand filter because they say 99%@20 microns (W/O any data to show how they got there). You're only using Fram as an example but there are a lot of filter companies out here advertising those claims with little to back it up.
To which you responded:BrandonC said:cleaner oil is better oil period. if you’re not going to run an OE filter, why not atleast go grab an ultra at walmart or better yet an endurance instead of the BOSS.
fantastic said:We all want clean oil so please show me the filter you use that has been tested to the ISO standard to get your oil cleaner than every other filter on the market.
Which is the data we are discussing, provided by both FRAM and Ascent.
You are literally arguing with two people here that are talking about FRAM filters guy.Fram is not the only company that makes high efficiency claims.
But you aren't being responsible, you are being ridiculous, bordering on unhinged. The people you are arguing with here are talking about the high end FRAM filters, which have been tested (particularly the OG Ultra) and backed up by the Ascent data. Your claim of "data lacking" in this context is impotent hand wavy contrarity, seemingly for the sake of simply being a dissenting voice, I must assume due to an already invested position that you don't want to back down from due to some perceived potential loss of face.I'll continue to be responsible & let others know that there is data lacking on proper ISO filter tests when there are claims that aren't backed up. If you want to believe ANY company that claims 99%@20 microns, across all of their respective models, w/o any evidence than have at it.
If you can read my tire remix spin of this discussion as presented above and still can't see the parallels and why this posturing is so ridiculous, well, I'm not sure what else can be said at this point
