So, could you give us a hint? Was it higher or lower than 0.025gpm?

Just kidding of course.

I just want to say Thank You Filter Guy for sending me on the path of understanding hydrolic and motor oil cleanliness.

Had a cabbie in Vegas tell me they test everything from filters to fluid. It's all sent free but they really never know exactly what some of this stuff is...

Neither is Mobil 1 Extended Performance.

Stand corrected...

I could've sworn that I saw in Big O Dave's filter thread that the M1-301EP had a synthetic element, but I guess not.

Yep, I was in error on that one... I'm perfect in every other way, though.

Has anybody ever counted all the acronyms used 'round these parts?
