When I get some time I'll do some more research and see if I can find another filter of the same size that offers better filtration. I guess as it is with the Wix filter on, at least I still have the water separator option.
One would think that even if the Filter had the same nominal micron rating since it is a larger then stock filter that would allow you to filter finer because the larger filter means there should be a pressure drop allowing particles more time to pass and get trapped in the element.
