Poor efficiency leads not just to wear, but interference over time with sensitive hydraulic mechanisms using engine oil - such as VVT and MDS, and the valves and orifices used to control them. Sticking hydraulic components into a dirty engine oil environment is a terrible misapplication. Just ask any former Navistar HEUI engine owner.
The objective is to find a high efficiency oil filter with lowest restriction. That would be oversized Royal Purple and Fram Ultra. Synthetic media allows consistent sizing of the openings, providing low restriction than uneven sizes in paper.
Oversize filters provide sufficient contaminant capture capacity for 5,000 mile OCI.
Can I prove the limits? No, not without test data. But I do know the physics is sound.
Efficiency or low restriction is a false choice for drama queen engine architectures like HEMI and HEUI. Both are necessary, and possible with today's premium filters.
