Not if designed right with the right media. Look at the Fram Ultra, Titanium and Endurance. They are all 99+% @ 20u and are rated for 20K and 25K miles, which means they do not "plug-up" with long use and can hold a lot of debris (aka high "holding capacity). There are years of threads discussing all of this in the Oil Filter forum.wouldn't you think a high efficiency filter would plug sooner, if it was more efficient? maybe you mean a higher capacity filter, not a higher efficiency filter.
