Does it clean down to 10 microns ( for Twin Cam,) 30 microns for ( for Evo/Shovel?)

Most of these "washables" clean down to 35 to 50 microns only. Have you asked the manufacturer what they rate their filter system for?

I’ve been using H-D filters for as long as I can remember. I get them on sale once a year and stock up. Just checked my H-D filters and didn't find any messed up gaskets. Like fishbust said, must be a bad batch.
