First I've heard of this tonight
Too bad we dont have a Pep Boys near by,or I'd try this filter out

I got to see them the other day at PB. It seems like a well made filter, along the same order as the Mobil 1 filters. Shame only PB will be carrying them.

There is no Fram filter that I'm aware of that has any significant finer filtering ability. Above the orange can, you get increasing levels of better construction and durability. Some are up there with the best. But none had anything outstanding in comparison to the cheapest media offerings out there when tested in Grease's study. They were pretty mediocre in the filtering dept.
I'll take a case sir! LOL
But seriously it actually does sound like a great idea. Let me know when you're ready.

The filters JUST hit the stores very recently. I am sure in time they will make it onto the web site. Actually, the PepBoys I went to was actually still putting them out, with the end cap display sign, when I showed up.
Worse case if you really want to try one I can pick it up and ship to you.

I bought one last night. The cashier told me I was the first one she knows that bought one. The M1 and K&N are the exact same filter. The RP has the white media, like on the cut away. I say that because sometimes your application is different from cut aways or box pictures.
The media looks like some of the Toyota TRD filters that I read Champ Labs also makes.
For that price, I'll continue to use EaO filters for extended oci. While I may not go the full allowable 25k miles/1 year on the EaO, at least it is rated to go the distance. This RP filter is rated for less than half that many miles for about the same price.

Was she cute?

If the Royal Purple filters better (which it probably does) then I can understand why it would have a shorter life.

Can we have the proof on that claim?

I'm bad about finding posts, but there is a guy on this post that had several used oil analysis with both EAO and Mobil 1 filters. Everytime the Mobil 1's have filtered better than the EAO's.
It's btanchors used oil analysis on his 2006 Tundra in the used oil analysis section. Everytime the M1's did better than the EaO. In my eyes it's like Amsoil that goes 20,000 or 25,000 miles or whatever it is. All the used oil analysis I've read about Amsoil won't last that long or by the end of your OCI you added so much oil it's not even the same oil. I'm not a big fan of using oil.
I've ran RP in several vehicle's with up to 15,000 mile oil changes and have never used oil, but I know several here don't like RP. I read a lot of the used oil analysis and think what I think.

Selective reading and interpretation will lead people to think what they think. You really should study how Blackstone does those measurements. It's funny that you miss threads where the EaO does better.
Not sure what other used oil analysis threads you have read but, but Amsoil is not a high consumption oil. I think you have formed a stereotypical prejudice and you are trying to use that as some kind of datapoint.
In the interest of the old BITOG, I cannot allow such statements to go unchallenged.

It might not be "rated" for as long but say its rated for 12,000 miles and you drive that many miles in a year and you are supposed to replace the Amsoil filter 25,000 miles or 1 year whichever comes first, you would be replacing them at the same time. I also see ratings as marketing, I would rather look at proof and since the Royal Purple filters just came out we don't have the proof of how they work yet. I would not have a problem trying the Royal Purple filter, but I have not seen them at my local Pep Boys yet.

Just an assumption at this point that it filters as well as the Mobil 1 (10 micron) which, if true, would mean it filters better than the Amsoil. Though, it's possible that it doesn't.

Any chance you did a used oil analysis on that 15K run? Would be interested in seeing how it held up.
Thanks.

Assuming that it is the same, what is the filtering efficiency in accordance with industry standard ISO 4548-12 at 10 um?

The 15,000 mile OCI was on a 2005 F-250 diesel. I sold that vehicle and the records went with that vehicle.
But... I will have a 12,000 mile UOA on RP with a Mobil 1 filter before long. It's in a 2007 Honda Accord. This is the car I will try the new RP filter and more RP oil.
I have no reason for being Anti-Amsoil. I've came very close to buying some. You can say I'm picking out only bad used oil analysis, but looking at used oil analysis of Amsoil to buy some, I saw over and over vehicles using oil and not going the "25,000". I just lost like what I see.
I have thought very hard about buying Red Line. I like what I see. I've even thought about PP or Q horsepower because they are cheaper.

Couldn't tell you. But, according to UOA and particle count, the Mobil 1 filter catches more of the particles than the Amsoil during short runs.

Not true. You need to read and understand how Blackstone does those "particle counts".
