I think they are inadvertently comparing the OEM DMax filter to their 114000750 filter and got that 70% increase. Both, the -740 and -750 , are compatible with the D Max. The -750 is what is technically specified for the newer engines. The older D Max had a dinky (by diesel standards) filter. I’m often surprised by what filters cross over different vehicles.
I’ve been using their filter for my 6.7. As I approach 5k on the current oil, I’m thinking of sending in a sample to Blackstone and including the soot load in the test. What will it show? Who knows. Lol. The engine is still relatively new at 10k on the ticker. I also don’t have any sample data prior to switching to the PPE filter. I did that at 1000 miles.
If you open up the spec card, it shows the 98% efficiency as well as the nominal. Bypass setting is there also.

Thanks for the explanation and additional information. The spec sheet shows the PPE filter is definitely superior to the Royal Purple and the Fram filters. It will be interesting to see if the lab data supports the performance claims from PPE.

TBH, lab results may not show me much. Soot particulate in suspension are less than 1 micron. They can, however, agglomerate to form particles much larger. That is where the dispersant in engine oil comes in- to keep those particles in suspension and stop them from binding. Those that do, hopefully, would be caught in filtration. But a lot of soot particles would have to agglomerate / bind to create a particle larger than 5 microns.
Good lord I’m a geek.

You are learning quickly, grasshopper! I agree that it’s definitely the better filter.
I recently found that PPE makes one for the 7.3. Same filtration as the RP but with a larger filter surface.

How does the Ford Performance Filter fit into the equation? Do you have any data on that filter?

I never could find hard data on that filter. There is a thread on that filter, and I had looked into it a little. The general consensus of the 0I bots say 99% @ 20µ. That's conjecture from various places, and none said if that is single pass or multi- pass efficiency.
Let's just say that the FRPP filter is 99% @ 20µ single pass. If it were me and my truck, I would spend the extra $6 on the PPE for 98% @ 10µ.

Understood. I'll look at the PPE for my next OC in May.

If you happen to fall upon legit numbers for the FRPP 820s, please share.
