BUT in saying all of the above. some brands DO have a better/ more reliable back flow/ antidrain valve system then other brands, BUT . even then it can depend on the exact application & model of filter AND engine spec PLUS km's as to any problems showing up

Thanks for the bollocks. I said "probably", and not offered other explanations which I should have. We are talking about the oil going black after 2 weeks because of an oil &filter change! I agree with you that I haven't seen what whqqsh has stated either and also think that there is more to it, but It's getting off topic. The original post is filters. I was just disagreeing with statements to effect that oil keeps clear because of filter, or the other one implied that good oils stay clear.

LOL, hey it was "mostly" . ( & in reference to JUST the qouted bit)
Anyways, yep but not off topic unles the topic was being pedanticly strict. Oil is designed to take advantage of many things & for many jobs including. Cleaning Lubrication cooliing Preservation Noise control Friction control Impurity/contamination transport Consistant hot/cold fluidity
Some of these are effected by filter construction & some not. The very nature of the job that oil does, means it DOES get dirty &will get dirtier sooner as the km's build up.

Back to the 1st question .
Trail & error if you have the time & cash. OEM filter if you don't.
