I dunno Ag, I've seen that and the guy does bring up some good points but the study isn't all-consuming and is mostly subjective.
The drainback valve's importance on a tractor isn't particularly clear to me...I know they can cause problems with some engines equipped with hydraulic valve lifters. Also if the drainback leaks somewhat, I'm also not assured that's a strikeout in terms of filtration quality. He mentions this allows dirty oil to flow back into the pan...but my personal thoughts are that the particles are so small that they are deeply entrained. For example...turning an oil filter upside down takes nearly forever to get the least amount out...and it is so heavy compared to a new filter...my thoughts are this is the weight of the entrained oil and not of the contaminants.
I've actually thought about doing the same study for my own information on a different sized filter but currently I'm not flush with the cash to do so.
I do still believe that you get what you pay for...but the Frams haven't proved themselves a disguised grenade yet in my testing. :shock:
