Any information or experience with PPE oil filters

As the title states, any experience or info on the PPE oil filters?
I came across their filter that they sell for my '16 Yukon 6.2L and wanted to post here and see:

What’s the country of origin for PPE?

Likely China, someone made a teardown video of another PPE oil filter only to find it just being full of marketing mumbo jumbo after taking a peek inside. Looks like a custom design made by Premium Guard to PPE specifications. 10 microns full flow filtration wouldn't make sense at all and so as this filter. 5 micron rating is probably a nominal rating or Beta 2 at 5 microns.

I wonder what "Nominal 10 micron rating" means

I have one for my Baby Duramax 3.0 to use this winter. I think they are decent. A lot of extra media.

This may help.

Thread 'What Does "Nominal" Micron Rating Mean?'

Maybe this has been covered, but I couldn't find it. I'm looking at a Baldwin B7449 oil filter with 9.8 nominal, 27 absolute micron rating. How would that compare to a percentage of a specific micron?

Thanks

You should email or call them and ask what the "nominal 10-micron rating" means to them. I'm betting if they can tell you, it's 50% @ 10u. Also ask them what the efficiency is at 20u.

I just remembered that about a year ago I emailed PPE about their filters.

Me: Message: I am looking at your 114000650 oil filter for my 2023 3 liter duramax. I see that it filters down to 10 microns. At 10 microns what is the % filter efficiency? Do you have any data for 20 microns % filter efficiency?

Liam Downing PPE: The efficiency is:10 microns at 50% and 85% at 20 microns.

Thanks for the replies.
I started exploring filters for my 6.2L L86. I've not been thrilled with the Amsoil EA017 filters the last couple of times I've cut open and inspected them. I then went back to the PF63 since I do short OCI's... figured it should be fine for me given that. The last PF63 I cut open after removing the glue had failed on one end, so I wasn't crazy about that. I'm getting ready to do my next change, and went down the filter rabbit hole again trying to determine what I'm going to put on this time... when I came across the above. Not going that route either. Probably just stick with the PF63 for this time, but I'm curious what the one that comes off looks like this time.

I don't recall seeing this before but now they have a "spec card" that claims 50% at 10 micron and 98% at 20 micron.

Why does it seem like every resource and contact with them results in different numbers given? What are the actual ratings of the filter and/or media?
