And you forgot to mention what micron that is for... Ofcrouse you the Pure One is 99% that's at 40 Micron. The Fram Extended Guard is 97% at > 20 Micron, which could mean 21 or 30. To give you an idea. 70 Micron is a human hair. There's a 20 micron difference between the 2. If they both use the same micron for testing i'm sure it would be very close, about less than00001% difference. Hell I can build my own filter made out of computer paper and call it 100% but that's at probably 300 micron, does that mean you would use it because it's 100%? Percentage means nothing unless they use the same micron rating for testing.

I use k&n the most but if not that i use OEM. Never ever use that fram piece of crap it is known to mess up things.

Ok you said you use OEM but say you don't use Fram because it's a piece of crap? The OEM is made by Fram/Honeywell.

i dont understand why people are still argueing this topic.

FRAM's X2 oil filters are great. they filter down to 10 micros.

Purolator Pure One filter and mobile 1's oil filters are amount the top two. with great filtration thats PROVEN.
