Fram's HP Series filters are just for performance and racing use. The spin-on filters can trap very small micron-sized particles that cause most engine wear. All filters have an anti-drainback valve, with a maximum flow rate.
The new Fram HP filters now filter down to 18 microns!

So what size particle will hurt a motor? 18,30,50????
How small is a 30 micron particle?
I would think fuel dilution and combustion gas is manly what hurts oil, after the initial run in of the motor{ring seal/cam breakin} that the particle/trash/metal wear is minimal unless something is going wrong?

It's significant if the particles are present in large numbers in an engine's oil. It's like liquid sandpaper.
Combustion byproducts and gasoline blowby along with metal particles are why changing oil frequently makes a lot of sense along with a good oil filter and oil.
If you have 20W-50 M-1 V-Twin and a M-1 or Wix filter on the engine and are changing the oil every 25-30 hours you will see a diference in extended life of the engine that will more than pay you back for your efforts.

For those who might be interested, a NAPA Gold #1794 is a tall 2 qt. Wix filter with no bypass. Combined with a high volume oil pump, large oil lines and fittings and a plugged bypass in the block, I see no restriction at all from the oil filter.
