Would you all like to see ISO 4548-12 Oil Filter Lab Testing Comparison, Efficiency & Capacity, Pressure vs Flow, Bubble Point, and Burst?

He didn't cut them open, but he started testing these filters in Jan 2021 (link below), so he had to have bought them before then and I'd say the Ultra he used was the wire backed media design.

in the bubble point video it does look like that design

The non-wire backed Ultra wasn't even for sale in Dec 2020.

This is from his bubble point video ... I can tell just by looking at the pink pleats that it's the wire backed Ultra.

This is a great list and definitely a contender!

I'd like to see the Fram Tough Guard, Purolator PureOne & Classic, Supertech (Blue Can)

Thank you!

That'll be $8,000, please... Unless inflation has raised Ascent's prices!

Sorry, thought this was a new thread!

Now I wonder where the Fram Endurance falls into this as I believe it is their highest rated filter now.

So after reading all these pages, it seems his price came down from $2,000 to $400 per filter, correct?

$400 seems very fair. Did a Go Fund Me get created?

Fram Endurance is likely same as Royal Purple.

My unscientific (not controlled) finding is the Fram Endurance filter rendered a lower particle count. In the last three vehicle analyses I obtained, the two that were running Amsoil EaO filters had a much higher >4 micron reading than the one vehicle running a Fram Endurance. Popular opinion here is that Amsoil, Fram, & possibly RP filters are all made by Champion labs, & therefore identical.

The c&p’s here have shown all three to be identical appearance wise.

IIRC, Whip City Wrencher cut up a few similar filters & everything was identical except the media had different color markings on it. I presume that means each product line has its own specifications, including media. So just because they look identical, doesn't necessarily mean they perform identically.

I agree. That’s why I said appearance wise. We’d have to look at the ISO test results to compare for sure.
