Full-flow element removes between 25-40 microns Second-stage microfilter between 2-5 microns 10-20 micron material is what's doing the most damage over time. While a Fram Ultra effectively filters in this range (94% @ 10 microns, 99% @ 20 microns), it would appear from a cursory evaluation...

Just something I thought a few here may find interesting... Did a manual regen on the truck last night, and grabbed the TIC (thermal imaging camera) to take a look; this is pointed right at the tip, and is measuring EGT as it exits the pipe. That's at least 1200°F:
