Point noted.
Otoh and 'strictly' playing devil's advocate here, what's the difference between someone desiring to use a more efficient ISO rated oil filter, and someone admiring/desiring Toy oem 'evenly spaced pleating'. Rhetorical. Just someone's preference. And it should be noted, I use and have used all kinds/brands of filters, mostly with value for construction type, coo, and some efficiency that I desire. And while I'm currently running an FU on a Tacoma, to ~15k two ocis, a Napa Gold/Wix will be replacing it. So ultimate efficiency not a must for me. But, that's my preference.
+1 ... I like filters on the higher side of efficiency too. I'll use anything that is well constructed and rated at 95% @ 20 microns or better. So WIX/NAPA Gold, Utlra and many others fit into that regime.
