OBTW MD13, have a read and see if you still want to take those blood cells to the bank:

Read the article. Yep your TP sort of bit the dust! LOL
not really, but if you read the parts about the beta and so forth, you certainly get a grasp of the scope of oil contaminations and cleanliness,,,, but this was more to do with "machinery" as a general field.
Practicality of the whole scenario read that 6 microns and above are a target group for journal bearings. Now if you manage to get less than 6µm in your filtrations so be it. They said, and quotes ... "Knowledge of the machine clearances and particle sizes that are indicative of wear can yield a particle size to focus on and provide information about the particle sizes that are present in greatest quantities. In rolling element bearings, the particle size of interest might be three microns and above; in a journal bearing, the particle size of interest might be six microns and above."
They also mentioned synthetic material as superior to some of the other commonly found material, but did ingress about, or could be said, complemented Toilet Paper as it does have the ability to hold water.. how much it affects the total filtrations I am not certain of.... " Synthetic media offer superior performance in a variety of fluids and in the presence of water. Other media, such as cotton fibers and cellulose (paper), will absorb water, causing swelling or breakdown. Some filter elements are specifically constructed or treated to absorb or coalesce limited amounts of free water."
And for Col.
Your thoughts on the Oil Guard is an excellent choice. This article also mentioned the better filtrations being one that filtered coarser going down to finer material removed. ALL filters work better that way. We use the same principal at the winery. Oil Guard does that too in the way they filter. Like I mentioned it was one I was most interested in...except for cost.
I just don't care for the increased costs of the Oil Guard filters of recent. That's just my prerogative, though. I'll stick with the B50 with it's absolute 7µm and nominal 3µm filtrations as I think it will do me for what I want a BP filter to do. After all, I'm not driving this car to a Million miles.. it will rust entirely out by around 300,000 or so miles in this soppy wet, salty Michigan road conditions!!
