Since this is on a machine in a room, footnote the results that this does not include rapid sludge formation possibilities as in real car, cold weather use. Then let's compare filters bottom lines.
Maybe you should start your own filter test laboratory, and redefine how oil filters are tested. But I doubt it's going to do any more good than the current ISO test for filter performance comparison.
I doubt my new better lab would make a dent in your loyalty so you are right, it won't do any good. Maybe you need to inquire about a Fram Ultra boutique dealership license and sell them on here. I would like an XG4386 as my Walmart is always out.
How is the Fram Ultra going to last 15k miles when used like this one you have already seen? How many grams of fat is this one holding after 4K?:
