On a previous forum, i remember reading something about filters and Mobil 1s you can get at walmart were in the upper echelon of filters. I have a whole case of MC filters for the truck someone gave me so i run those but on my other vehicles, M1s all day.
Amsoil was one of the best but Walmart doesnt sell them and they are a lot more $

IMHO, they are in the average of good filters. The M1 is “up to 99% at 30 micron”. Not sure what that means, really. Is it 99% at the end of its “20,000 mile” service life?

See- we can nerd out just like the gun guys, radio guys, flashlight guys, guitar pedal guys, etc. The problem is, we can test things and get an answer, but then manufacturing changes or locations for it change, and we get a different product lol

I've stuck with the Amsoil filters. I just order it when I order fluids. I may change to the Ford Performance filter since the Whipple is going on next week.

• Ford Performance (CM-6731-FL820): This is the winner if you want the absolute tightest filtration. It captures particles down to 12 microns (compared to AMSOIL's 20 microns) and features a massive 250 sq. in. of media surface area. The casing is heavy-gauge steel designed specifically to survive massive, violent oil pressure spikes when you stomp on the gas and the positive-displacement blower hits hard. Because supercharged trucks require short oil change intervals anyway, its shorter mileage lifespan doesn't matter.

• AMSOIL (EAO11): This is the winner for media stability and flow. Because it uses a 100% full-synthetic media with no cellulose fibers, it will not degrade, swell, or restrict flow if raw fuel washes past the rings under boost and dilutes the oil. The wire-backed synthetic pleats also offer highly uniform pores, ensuring excellent oil flow to the overhead valves, main bearings, and variable cam timing components during cold starts.

Verdict: If your priority is maximum burst strength and catching the absolute smallest microscopic particles, go with the Ford Performance filter. If you want a media that is completely immune to fuel dilution and offers maximum cold-start flow consistency, go with the AMSOIL.

With all due respect, stop with the 0I and look at beta ratio.
Not saying one is better than the other, just that the shit intelligence algorithm sucks off bullshit from random opinions posted in random forums. Maybe, on occasion, from legitimate sources.

Me: claude, what is beta ratio

We are going to Hell, and the road is paved with microchips.

Was gonna say IDK what that all means. I’m all about reliability and durability generally. I hardly ever stomp the gas and will definitely not supercharge this.

It doesn’t matter if you drive Ms. Daisy or run it like a raped ape. Absolute efficiency tells you the minimum particle size that will pass through the filter. Beta ratio tells you how many particles of a given size will pass through. Beta will tell the whole story.
Bottom line: stay away from filters that give only the nominal filtration ( it sounds better with lower numbers) unless absolute or beta are there to back it up.
