The domestic filter makers should take a lesson from PG on how to make nice evenly spaced pleats.

Agreed
@ZeeOSix said they are the start of the failures

Nice! Are they actually green? My leftovers don't come till Monday at the earliest, and @Zee09 isn't speaking to me since he locked up the market.

They were pictured both green and black on Amazon. Just curious.

I think you mean @ZeeOSix

The "MicroGard Select" at AAP is the same filter, just branded MicroGard for AAP ... as many know here, but some may not yet know that.

You mean O’Reilly, right? The AAP ones are CQ Premiums, I think.

Correct ... my bad.

You might have ESP ...

I'm dropping Motorcraft (made by M+H/Purolator) for many reasons and going with MicroGard Select for my Coyote. Getting better filter efficiency than the Motorcarft and no closed off louvers with the swap ... win-win. And I'm dropping the Ultra because I don't want louvers anymore. I'll use up the 3 OG Ultras I have left. I could care less about wavy pleats after use. Wide pleats tear ... wavy pleats don't. That should be the new BITOG slogan.

I'm tempted to cut one of my EG S241 but not sure I want to waste it.
It looks too good and cheap to waste

What efficiency rating does a filter have to have for you to use it, or what rating do you find sufficient in your opinion?

My low end cut-off is 95% @ 20, which would be around 99% @ 25u.

For my Ram I’ve got one more Mopar filter to use before I switch to the STP XL, but I also like the Micro Guard Select. Both are 99% but the STP is rated at 20 microns. Though I’m not sure if it would make a difference at all in engine life with 20 vs 25.

Kind of a weird thing you touched on. Pentius and Premium Guard seem to source some of their filters from the same place, but Pentius claims 99% at 20 and PG 99% at 25.

Typo, bragging or real thing I don’t know but I am more inclined to believe PG.

At least they aren’t advertising 99 percent dirt holding power!

Would be nice to see how close to their claims they actually perform.
