Unfortunately there wasn’t a clear shot of Endurance bypass in BR test and Ultra wasn’t a close up, but the zoom in shown in last photo here does show ridges. Below is from WC video confirming date on manufacture on Endurance and side by side comparison to Ultra at that time. The other is a...

Bingo

I already verified that build dates shown in videos were early 2023 on several (Endurance Amsoil) from the 2 videos on Endurance and Amsoil light tests, which were made in late 2023.

Consider this. What are the ODDS that ALL four (Endurance ..Amsoil..RP….Ultra…) tested with identical characteristics…(with slight exception in Ultra filter media) ….clones if you will…had no bypass leaks with this metal on metal bypass? Given the fact none of these four (made post 2023) have...

The important thing to note is that the same test was performed all filters? So you have a valid comparison.

The fact of the matter is that NO Endurance nor any of its “ILK” (Amsoil..RP..Supertech..)made post 2023…Including Ultra…have passed the flashlight leak test. NONE. Granted, not many of these test have been performed, but when you consider that the same spring plate bypass flaw appears to be in...

Looks like Endurance and all its “clones”..Amsoil … RP… ( and Ultra to a great degree) still fair well in your analysis. What are the odds of ALL in that group being non leakers? 🙄

True, But this still begs the question, is this particular bypass leak a “deal breaker”….enough for the Endurance Filter (Ultra..Amsoil..RP…etc) to relinquish its status ask a top performing filter? “Is a A Samurai Sword which has been dulled, still superior to all those fully sharpened...

I commend you for attempting this, but unfortunately it’s not going to get to the “Elephant in the Room”…. How does this particular bypass leak impact filtration…in a working filter?…not on paper. In my humble opinion, short of an ISO, the answer could be had by having a BR particle Endurance...

That certainly isn’t my intention. But I don’t think you can “look the other way “ or simply dismiss their results because they didn’t go by “the book”. The test was far more sophisticated than what one would normally see with an amateur or back yard mechanic. For me, the BR results POINT to...

I don’t think you can equate the BR test with a cursory “seat of the pants “ impression! Not even remotely similar analogy. Very specious comparison.

Lol I’m by far in the minority here!

This isn’t about me being a “fan boy”… You’re implying that the leak substantially impacts performance, which in all probability, is contrary to a “non sanctioned“, albeit well conducted test. Of course …”no proof” it was a leaker, but highly likely 🙄 and test Isn’t a “gold standard”. However...

Got it backwards you’re the one wishing it wasn’t a “LEAKER”, because if it was , you’ve got some “splainin’ to do” lol

Show me any Endurance that has passed a light leak test….let alone ANY of the “clones” made from 2023 on….RP…Amsoil…Supertech 😉😆

Yes Just ask BR to send over the Endurance they particle tested, definitely a “NON-LEAKER” 😉

Here we go Again…. Bypass filtering DELAYED is not BYPASS filtering DENIED. The calculated 10-15% that’s constantly unfiltered on first pass gets filtered on subsequent pass(ergo “DELAYED”)…and subject to the filtration at 20 microns with a superior filter. The net effect is a DELAYED filtration...

Been long NVDA for years. Have a smaller position in NVDL(2X ETF) as well. Looks like break out today. LLY is another core holding. Have been hiding 25% cash in Schwab Money Market fund paying 5%. Will hold it there until it drops below 3.5%.
