I'll say true (an opinion). PureOne just has the best performance (in flitration) in its price class. Wix is competitive with it. You get a diminishing rate of return on your $$ beyond it ..for spin-on filters anyway.
I guess if you can index your OCIs to compensate for the added cost ..it would work, pricewise. This is easier for the hardcore 3k/3m user to evolve to the 6k/6m ..at a savings ..then it is the guy who's already doing 10k without filter changes.

I'd say based on the info I've seen the Pure One filters better than the Wix although I like and use them both. The Amsoil and Pure One are probably two of the best which are readily available.
Of the ones tested in Grease's oil filter test the Pure one, AC-Delco and the Tough guard came out on top. This is on particle size only. M1 was much further down, but has supposedly changed media(no proof yet), and the EA filters were not tested. I would guess the Pure one is still better then the M1, but the EA might be better.
Particle size isn't everything of course.

And the Ea is almost three times the price of the Pure One depending on application.
I like something in the "middle of the road" so to speak on filtering and flow...I use Napa Golds (Wix).
Whats the filter rating on the bypass valve?
I bet it is either the M1 EP or the Amsoil Ea. If I had to pick one in Vegas I would put my money on the Amsoil Ea. I don't think anyone here knows for sure.
the Amsoil Ea. is 98.3% at 15 microns......anyone know what pure one or the m1 is????
filtering rating at 10 microns
pure one 93.5%
mobil 1 50%
amsoil ea 50%
pure one the clear champion unless amsoil's website is wrong

Everyone has an opinion..like here:

the particle counts show Motocraft and Mobil 1 better than Pure One..

The Amsoil EaO is 50% at 7 microns, not 10 microns.
what is it at 10 microns???
can anyone give me a briefing on the particle count and how it relates to the filtering of the oil filter??????

Try that thread for starters.

Then when your done understanding Microns and beta ratios...then you can get to this:
What is an ISO cleanliness code?
The ISO 4406 (International Standards Organization) cleanliness level standard. It is based on two range numbers representing 5 & 15 micrometers particle counts per milliliter of sample fluid. The two sizes were selected due to the fact that smaller size was thought to be representative of the fine silt present in the fluid, and the larger size was indicative of the wear contaminants present.
ISO Chart
The cleanliness of your hydraulic fluid is very crucial to the trouble-free and cost-effective operation of your hydraulic system and engine components. The ISO code is a method of measuring oil cleanliness.
The code consists of two numbers, e.g. 18/15. The first number corresponds to the number of particles in the 5 micron range in one millilitre of oil. The second number corresponds to the number of particles in the 15 micron range. The lower the numbers, the cleaner the oil.
You can find the the chart here as I con't know how to paste it in:

thanks for the help
Filter guy, how many American filter manufactures are now using the ISO standard?
Do you think American company's will move in the direction of the ISO standard?
It's good to see this standard and I welcome it.

For automotive engine filters....none that I know of.
It is primarily used in hydraulics because particle counts are more routine.
A lab doing particle counts will supply you with the information.
But most standard sampling oil analysis for automotive engines do not include particle counts unless you pay extra for the additional analysis.
