While not the most scientific method possible, can confirm that my engine oil stays cleaner, longer whenever I use a Baldwin filter during an oil change. Baldwin starts with a heavier metal can and mounting plate - huge difference when you pick up a Fram or even Wix Gold. And unlike many filter manufacturers, Baldwin follows SAE testing protocols instead of making up ones just to make their filters look good. Wix (Mann&Hummel) do this by using a 25 micron rating rather than the SAE 20 micron one to make their filter look more efficient.
