Looks like the Amsoil Nanotech Filter did a very good job here.

only 0.1 for insolubles.
Looks great but the non-Ea filter did just as well.

I see that you kept the Ea on for twice as many miles. Still, it would be a much better comparison to have exactly the same mileage figures.
I'm not knocking the Ea down, it's just not uncommon to see very low numbers for insolubles on the cheapo filters with twice as many miles.
On my last oil analysis I got 0.3% for insolubles after 7K all city miles over 14 months.
The filter was a $4 Motorcraft.

The other one has help from a bypass filter.
