Ya, they have to be completely impartial & note the higher than expected metals.

Ya, I was suspect when either of the two thread sizes may have been correct, now that NEITHER are correct……..

First off, thanks for that detailed explanation, it helps clarify this issue. So what would be a reasonably safe drain interval with a race oil? How much would the higher detergents impact the higher level of AW chemistry? Can you counter it simply by adding more (AW) or would lower detergent...

So the whole ZDDP reduction is what brought on LSPI & lowering calcium is a way to mitigate that with lowered ZDDP levels. Lake didn’t mention that. Lol. That’s pretty much what Lake is saying on his channel, that lowered calcium is helping AW properties, & that SP is the best thing to come...

Did you look at the item description on Amazon? I quoted exactly what it says. It doesn’t give a specific size.

Well, the price went up, they're $62.80 for a dozen so $5.2333 each. Also suspect is this in the item description: "Thread Size M16 x 1.5 or M18 x 1.5" So, which is it? M16 or M18?

So, to be clear, these are the OG Ultras with the holes in center tube & wire screen backing? I see on the box they are the 15,000 mile item. I went ahead & ordered the XG5 for the BB 402 as well, hope they are legit OG

My mistake, Donaldson does not show an absolute value. Thanks for that link, in one statement under the "Nominal" heading it was said: "For example, I was recently asked my opinion on an inline hydraulic filter labeled a 10-micron cellulose filter. Digging deeper, I found that the filter...

Yep, that's them!

Is the seller "sae-auto" or "SAE Parts"?

The comparable Donaldson has a nominal rating of 6, I think absolute is 25?

I think this might be legit, the seller only has the less popular sizes, likes the 3980 or shorter 3387 with 18mm inlet. He doesn't have the more popular 10575 or 10060 with 22mm inlet. I'm gonna get the 3980 for my 3.4 V6

Thanks, fantastic, for the info, the link was especially helpful!!

Maybe this has been covered, but I couldn't find it. I'm looking at a Baldwin B7449 oil filter with 9.8 nominal, 27 absolute micron rating. How would that compare to a percentage of a specific micron? Thanks

How you coming along with putting miles on that Supertech? It's been 5 months.......
