Lately I "discovered" Fram's new Ultra Synthetic oil filter and noticed their claim of 99+% cleaning ability. Had to look hard to find that their claim is for 20 microns and larger. No Thanks! Even Purolator's "old" Pure One filter does much better than that. Now I am looking into Purolator's latest oil filter, the Boss. They state a mileage limit of 15k vs Fram's 20k. Makes sense - a filter that stops more will be at its limits sooner than one that allows the smaller stuff through. Now, as I did once before with Purolator's engineers, I'll be trying to get their beta data. Stay tuned. (Super Busa - you listening?)
you have missed the holy wars that put the ultra far above the one.
