I remember reading somewhere that it's the 3-5 microns that technically cause the most damage. It's the tiny bits that turn the oil into sand paper type and scrape the internals as it flows around for thousands of miles.
I imagine a brand new engine fitted with a dual bypass filtration system would be the healthiest after say 200k miles of use.
