Again, a one-word reply is not evidence. If that product info rep had an ISO 4548-12 result sheet they should have included it… you certainly asked clearly enough for evidence. So the jury’s still out on this.

You're all hot on "Spec Sheets" ... so why not make it a standard for all claims?
Maybe you should ping your M+H contact and see what the Spec Sheet actually says for this claimed 99% @ 17 microns PL14006. Would be interesting, yeah?
Nah ... fantastic has a direct contact who seems to respond to all of his Spec Sheet requests, where other's haven't gotten the same service. The Spec Sheets I posted earlier were from I believe fantastic sharing them in some other thread, not sent to me by Purolator/M+H. Or you could do it to backup the email from Purolator since you already have contact.I’m thinking with the time you spent writing this ^^ comment you could have emailed [email protected]
Perfect comment.Not thread worthy but thanks for sharing.
Already done . I’ll post when / if I hear back.Or you could do it to backup the email from Purolator since you already have contact.
Nothing against you or your enthusiasm for this thread/topic, but I feel like if this were 100% legit, Purolator marketing would have this in big bold print on their boxes, even if it were only this one specific part number that delivered these results. Then, in a 0.67 font size tucked underneath the bottom flap, you’d see the asterisk and “applies to xxxxx filter only”.Already done . I’ll post when / if I hear back.
I have directly contacted every major oil filter manufacture, and inquired about to confirm the filtration efficiency for filters for specific applications. L98 engines, LT1 engines and now LS engines. I’ve never before received a response that claimed 99% at 17 microns per ISO 4548-12 .1 filter size that does 17 microns isn’t anything to get excited about.
Fascinating

OP toying with us? Thought you were not going to email them for the spec sheet?Already done . I’ll post when / if I hear back.
I personally thought it would be of value for more than one person to request info. If we anyone else gets the same info, then it’s probably not just a random customer service rep giving inaccurate info. Since this is the first time I’ve seen an claimed efficiency this good - I’m glad you corroborated.For all who are interested in seeing all of the specification sheets for for the Classic, One, & Boss I've posted them in the oil filter forum.
Rob, don’t get me wrong… I’m in no way slamming/doubting you or denigrating your efforts. I applaud them. I’m more concerned that it seems we can’t get consistent nor verifiable information from some manufacturers… @wwillson ’s issues with the Fram Ultra are a recent example as well.I have directly contacted every major oil filter manufacture, and inquired about to confirm the filtration efficiency for filters for specific applications. L98 engines, LT1 engines and now LS engines. I’ve never before received a response that claimed 99% at 17 microns per ISO 4548-12 .
I get that you don’t have a LS powered car so this isn’t specifically relevant to you, but there are hundreds of thousands of LS powered cars worldwide. (Not all LS engines use this specific filter - but many do).
Also, this furthers our / BITOG community’s understanding that if you’re considering a Purolator filter for your vehicle, contacting them to learn the specifics of the exact filter your vehicle uses is of value: the numbers vary per vehicle specific applications and they are willing to share details.
Because I just cut open 10 new LT1 filters to check out their construction, and I emailed all manufacturers to confirm their efficiency claims - I was not going to go thru that whole process again for the LS6 powered Corvette I just purchased.
I was just going to use what I learned about LT1 filters to inform my decision about LS6 oil filter selection.
I had decided on Fram Titanium for my LT1 and I was planning to use a Fram Titanium on my LS6.
Then, I saw this video:
He posted the Purolator LS1/6 filter is 99@20. I felt like I knew that to be false, but I thought “let me check”.

Have the OEM valve springs been replaced? If not, they should be due to failure, which can bend valves and ruin heads.I bought a new-to-me 2001 Corvette Z06
Plus the beehive upgrade springs usually add a couple hundred additional RPM capability up top if the cam can take advantage of them.Have the OEM valve springs been replaced? If not, they should be due to failure, which can bend valves and ruin heads.
I'm aware of this issue, but since it's pretty rare for 2001 Zs I wasn't too concerned. At some point I'll probably do the springs, cam and balancer all at the same time.Have the OEM valve springs been replaced? If not, they should be due to failure, which can bend valves and ruin heads.
