Well if we want to be really literal, apart from the presence of an intelligent observer
all that really exist is energy- waves of potential. However speaking in terms of human perception all small localized objects to which can be ascribed physical or chemical properties such as volume, density or mass eg. iron dust, pollen,mold spores etc. that measure .0331 inches are 20 micron objects. We can call it particulate if it makes you feel better.
> =Greater than â¥=greater than or equal to. The greater than sign(>) means a number to the left is greater than the number on the right just like your 3rd grade teacher taught you. The absence of a number on either side is inconclusive. They should list their beta ratio instead of the caca they do. A nominal rating would be nice. Especially since either 5u to 10u or 10u to 20u , depending on who you ask, cause the most wear.
I'm liking the sounds of dual stage filters better and better as I go.
Twenty is a whole number, which means it has no fractions or decimals. There is no @20, it doesn't exist. > is the more correct way to show efficiency unless one realizes the @ twenty is just an approximate number very close to twenty. Unless the definition of whole numbers is now deemed wrong by someone on an oil filter forum.
There won't be any particles in an engine spherical to one micron let alone tenths or thousandths, nanometers, so the whole argument Fram is pulling a fast one with > is just nonsense blown up to try and make something come true that isn't.
No it's not at all and we're not just talking about one product actually or 1 manufacturer. If they could safety list @20u they would. Assuming your correct that they really do mean anything greater than 20, and it's not just shady language, they should round up to the nearest whole#21. Rounding down would be fradulant. But as it stands its really just left to the imagination.
If you really love Kool-Aid that much you should start making your own.
