the set up i have filters the oil down to 2 micros. there are 3 different filters. the first filter is a 25 micron house water filter, the second is a 5 micron house water filter and the third is a wix 2 micron fuel filter. is this enough? another question would a cenerfuuge be a good investment as far as filtering wmo for fuel use? or is filtering it down to 2 microns good enough?
thanks anthony

2 microns seems enough to me. From what I remember amsoil says the most damage happens a bit higher up on the micron scale there as in terms of wear and tear on bearings. The amsoil super duper bypass filter deal does filter to .1 micron though. Or so it says...
Whether filtering WMO or WVO, remember that a 2 micron nominal filter only gets the majority of the particles larger than that size. It still lets a few larger particles through, just not very many. To truly filter to 2 micron, I strongly suggest running it through three or four times.
