This has been a very interesting thread. Unfortunately work responsibilities have prevented from becomming as involved as I would have liked. A final thought:

While it is true that the dispersants in "detergent" oil are added in order to more effectively keep particulate contamination in suspension so that the modern "full-flow" oil filters, which are, in reality, not really full-flow," can remove more such contamination more quickly; it does not follow that particulate contamination will not be found in the ND oil in a running engine whether equipped with a full-flow oil filtering system or otherwise. Granted, "detergent" oils will more effectively keep such contamination in suspension and for a longer time. I have changed the ND oil in my share of cars with both partial and full flow oil filters (or no oil filter at all), and I can attest that the used oil that comes out will have contain particulate contaminantion.
