Nope, Al, it wasn't Larry that asked that, it was me--in response to
Larry's (anti-Amsoil) rhetoric.  Larry asked reasonable questions, but I
thought he did so in a way that implied there were problems with the Amsoil
filter. I have no opinion in this matter, but do have an interest since I
was planning to change from petro- to Amsoil next week.

Al went on to say:

Me? Sure, but can't say about Larry, though ;-) Since you introduced this
new information, it raises the question: how do Amsoil filters _now_
compare in efficiency to the average filter (i.e. minimum particle size
filtered)? Is the "15 micron range" still substantially smaller than others
are able to remove? Also, are modified filters now being sold and can they
be distinguished from the earlier kind?
