I was wanting to know what oil filter do you use for the 7.3 IDI?

For reference, the factory FL784 filter was rated for like 30 Microns nominal... Looking for something finer.

Has anyone used the Baldwin B7513 that has a Micron Rating of 3 Nominal; 10 Absolute? Would a rating like this overwork the oil pump or substantially affect oil pressure?

The Baldwin B7039 has a micron rating of 9.8 Nominal; 27 Absolute and seems to be more commonly used on our motors.

The Motorcraft FL1995 is recommended often but cannot nail down the ratings for it.

The Donaldson DBL7405 is used by many 7.3 PSD users and is rated for 10 Nominal; 15 Absolute, very appealing as well.
