<VV> the power of observation

In reference to the 1 micron filters, you guys flunked the test.  You somehow missed the part about that being part of a "dual remote bypass filter" setup.  You are absolutely correct in saying a filter that tight would be very restrictive.  Which is why Amsoil put it next to the full flow filter. Because the media is so dense it can only filter a small portion of oil at a time.  The rest bypasses and goes on through the full flow filter.  When the oil comes out the bypass filter, it is analytically clean.  But looks can be deceptive.  They say at 45mph, in about 20 minutes, all the oil in the crankcase will have been filtered through the bypass filter at least once.  Oh yeah, and Smitty, the guy who founded Amsoil was a fighter pilot in the air force.  Guess where the idea of synthetics for cars came from.  His name is Al Amatuzio (hence the name Amsoil) and he noticed his fighter jet was kept alive by synthetic lubes and oil analysis and wondered why  someone couldn't come up with the same thing for cars.  Upon his retiring from the air force, he did, and in 1972 Amsoil was born.  And like Paul Harvey used to say, "Now you know the rest of the story."
