I'm with "Gene1949" on this, especially the way the vast majority of these vehicles are used and maintained these days. One thousand mile oil change intervals and no operation on dirt roads means that it is more important to get as many of the smaller particles filtered out as you can and not worry about the big chunks (of which there are none). Someone on here (I think it was "51-Merc-Ct") figured out that all of the oil passes through the filter every 10 or 11 minutes.

Better we should concentrate on fulfilling the 1000 mile interval suggested for chassis lubrication. A lot of people miss it.
