IMHO, oil filtration is far more important than oil type. Those mag filter covers are only good for collecting the magnetic particles. So where are the other non-magnetic particles going?

Hence, if you require better filtration, maybe an investment in a better oil filtration system is in order as j.arnaldo suggests. Someone can correct me but I believe a standard filter will not pass particles less than 30 microns. Particles less than 30 microns that do pass are most likely not a show stopper for your engine. They will either get embedded in the bearing babbitt, eventually settle in the base pan or other places where sludge forms.
