i was surprised by this as well.

these spin on filters are advertised as having a 2 micron rating….but when you look up the filter elements they list as 10 micron.’

i bought on of those spin on filters and took it off and put the oem back on.

i am sure there are spin on elements that are 2 micron, but, it wasn’t clear which .

proceed with extreme caution.

I do not buy fuel filters from Amazon. To many knock off out there. i just stick with the dealer. I made a friend with the parts guy and I get a brake on the price.
