Its not the crude anymore, and thats the great thing about modern refining. No one can use napthenics in ILSAC/API motor oil because of the reasons you stated. Even Group I solvent dewaxed paraffincs wont meet the standards for multigrades. All modern multigrades, which is all you should use in a modern engine, is, at a minimum, all hydroprocessed paraffinic. That gets rid of the aromatics, sulfur, nitrogen and waxes. The result is a naturally high Viscosity Index, requiring less improver, low volatility and high oxidation resistance.
I havent seen one of those toilet paper filters in decades. A guy at the swap meet used to sell them. I always worried that because TP is supposed to come apart in water, that combustion byproducts would break it down and paper fibers would end up circulating in the bearings.

Any way, when i was in the USAF we called it APP. That's All Purpose Paper. One would be amazed with all the uses a grunt can find for it. Filtering oil was not one of the uses, however.

Mahout, Thanks for clarifying that for me, The Beta ratings are what confused me,, That is what the Mann ML1008 filters have, just as good as the Amsoil Ea103 which they don't make anymore. I know what I will be buying from now on.
As for the acid build up, I use Amsoil with a tbn of 12, and change it out around 6000 miles or 6 months which ever comes first.
