And, it's also one of the points I was making in my previous post here that we know the P1's rated efficiency, afaik there's no such information on the OEM H/K filter.

Without any efficency info, really the most that can be said about the H/K filter is, it does look well made.


Me too. Even the "lowly" Fram Tough Guard (OCOD) is 94 percent @ 20 um using a blended media.

FRAM Tough Guard is 99% @ 20 microns (and its a silver can

I can't find this test anywhere. Anyone have a link?

Found it by chance. It's on the Amsoil filter page:

Thanks for posting the image. It's interesting, but not really useful as a comparison, as none (or few) of those filters is/are for the same application. What you are seeing is the difference in efficiency for a particular application, and it doesn't necessarily represent the efficiency for the entire line of filter

I think that chart is a good representation of what the companies are putting out. I doubt for instance that Honda nad Toyota are going to have one filter that is 50% @ 20 microns and others at 98% @ 20 microns in the same filter line.
