FL-1HP have a micron rating of 27, the FL-1A is 25. So with FL-1A you theoretically get better filtering which nobody in three lifetimes would realize. The FL-1A is my filter of choice. You can do a complete oil change with 9 quartz of castrol 10WXX and new filter for $31.00 from walmart, if you like synthetic, it goes to $50.00

On a side note I cant say the filtermags are a complete waste, I argue they have the ABILITY to do more than the clamp on PatrickT filter, LOL!!!!!

I would have zero heartburn using a filtermag, proof in the pudding I just one off ebay for $12.50 plus $4.95 shipping, oh yea!! Usually retails for $39.95. I am going to install and cut open the filter in 6 months. Problem is we will never know if those particles would have gotten through the media since it attracts metal on the dirty side.

Also, Filtermags - total waste of money or is there some benefit?
