The main argument against involves the purity of new oils. There can be particulate matter in new oils from the blending and filling facility.

Your statement makes no sense at all. Clean oil is the only kind of oil you would fill a new filter with regardless.

Actually it makes total sense. Have you see particulate counts of new oil? Yes lots, and big too, in some oils. Think a little harder, a resourceful person may just pre-filter that new oil before pouring it in the center tube of a new filter.
