I'd like to see the numbers on that. I did take mine apart and cleaned it with solvents, not ultrasonic. My sense is the stock oil filter does a better job than it is credited with as has been amply demonstrated when they are cut open. What do the chips take out? Seriously, provided the oil filter does not fail, they go through the oil pump and end up in the filter. If they are too big, the end up in the pan. The death blow isn't the chips, its the damage that created them. Now if an open bearing is chosen as an IMSB replacement using unfiltered oil, the story changes.
