    Condensation is from short driving trips where the oil doesn't reach operating temp.

    It's just a coincidence. The type of filter doesn't prevent the milky condensation from forming.

    Fwiw, ive always ran oem filter..... havent worked in 3yrs cept a couple months, for those couple months i drove 5 miles to work. So yearly mileage is low

    Trucks an 06 with just under 100k on it and ive owned it since 08.

    Never any sludge.

    Just figure ive been lucky is all.

    pretty much absolutely not. cause and cure has zero to do with oil filter.

    I hired a few 6 inch gnomes to monitor it in real time and heat it when applicable.
