I have used NAPA Golds, WIX, Amsoil, Purolator Classics and Motorcraft in the past. All of those filters are at least 95% efficient at 20 microns, which is about my "threshold" for filtering efficiency performance.
I see you are using an Ultra on one of your rides now ... so why put a Platinum on it and get half the filtering efficiency? Guess I don't get the logic.
I bought the platinum's on SALE for $7.50 before I was introduced here. I still have 3 left. I have about 5 Puro Synthetics, and 2 Ultras in my stash. Again, I am not worried about using any of them. There are plenty of Toyota and Honda OEM filters out there on cars that have lasted 300k+. If a little efficiency is going to matter, they would have exploded by then. I understand where you are coming from however, these synthetics are all good filters at the end of the day.
