We use Cat oil filters. Two versions one has larger holes in the media. The better one has smaller ones and a lot more media. Don't remember specs.
Brands get bought out and made cheaper to maximize profitability Not just oil filters but everything. I ahven't kept up but Fram went from best/better to an also ran many years ago. Maybe they re back to number1. Engines survive still.
The Cat Filter is the same forever it seems. I was able to find them military surplus helicopter and other engine filters comprised of a metal housing and several cleanable and replaceable round small micron screens, Don't remember the specs, with rubber seals on the edges. Some still round as they fly Hueys still.
