Y'all sure on those micron ratings? Oil filter are usually in the 20-30 micron range. Fuel filters are in that 10 and lower micron rating. Some oil filters are in those lower micron ratings but those are specialty filters used where you find full flow filter systems where there's no concern of running in bypass.

Depends on the filter media. Some of the tightest out there are Donaldson synteq, which block 90% of >10 micron particles. You’re right that most others are ~20 micron or so, and most don’t even make a specific claim.
