Microgard Extended or M1 Extended Performance

Here’s my filter waiting to be installed next. There 4 total on the shelf and they all look like this.
BTW with louvers, the lighting and angle of shot makes a big difference!

Yes, it's pretty easy to look at louvers with a good flashlight. Those do look good.

That's some good math! How did you measure that? Especially the louvers?

 

[ZeeOSix]

That +30% more flow area isn't really going to make any difference in dP vs flow that really matters. But what could cause a real difference is if someone gets a filter with really choked down louvers.

 

[Fair enough]

They must have sent someone with some experience and common sense down to the louver making machines to fix them. People do return filters with closed or nearly closed louvers, I have.

I just don't want to buy foreign stuff we should be able to make. I hope the domestic MFGs are watching this site and the multitude of YT videos.

I mentioned this several times on WCW's YouTube channel, I really do think the microguard select is the closest thing to being what everyone on the internet wants in an oil filter for a reasonable price.

I really don't care who makes what and where it's made, I care about the end product above all else.

Exactly. Politics aside I buy what I feel is best for my situation. I do hope US oil filter manufacturers get it together at some point….
