That's still a pretty nebulous efficiency statement. It really doesn't tie the 99% efficiency directly to the 25 microns. "Removal of particles as small as 25 microns" could mean anything. It doesn't say 99% at 25u or 99% for particles greater than 25u.

Plus, there is no referenced test standard, like ISO 4548-12. If it was actually based on that ISO test standard, they would have referenced it. Maybe email PG directly and see if they can clarify what the efficiency really is.

Below is the XL filter aka a Premium Guard made filter made for Federated Auto parts stores.

Clearly referencing the ISO testing at the bottom….

This filter is an exact match for the one at O Reillys.

And I’d bet it is the same darn internals has the one made for AAP Carquest Premium filters.

The PRONTO PO2500EX very similar to the PREMIUM GUARD PG2500EX , STP S10590XL and CARQUEST Premium 84502 ( O.P. pics page 1 ) .

This amazon listing by the Premium Guard store has a photo referencing ISO 4548-12, however the same vague language is used.

Yeah, that's still nebulous. Doesn't really say 99% at or greater than 25 microns. That's not hard to convey. If that's what they mean, then they need to hire a better advertising department.
 
The wording in the description is not very well done. No doubt.


Though the one from The Federated Auto parts one clearly has it… At the bottom of the picture.

Has does that one from Amazon.

Greater than 20 microns ISO 4548-12…

So that’s quite an obvious.
 
MicroGard Select oil filters are precisely engineered for maximum oil flow and dirt holding capacity, providing optimal engine performance and longevity with 99 percent efficiency (Laboratory Test Performance per ISO 4548-12 at 25 microns).…

There…. Much, much better worse and stated here in the O Reilly Microgard Select information.
 
It's a leap IMO to think that all filters made by Premium Gaurd are all the same efficiency. If it doesn't clearly state xx% at or greater than yy microms per ISO 4548-12 then I'm not assuming the efficiency is the same as some other labled PG made filter. When nebulous words are used instead of simply stating the ISO efficiency, it's suspect.
