Sorry but I think you misunderstood and are comparing apples with oranges.

VIC was tested 87% filtration for 40 Microns of contaminants(Size of dirt particles) for 5 minutes and after 10 minutes VIC filtration dropped by 6% from 87% to 81% for the 40 microns size of contaminants.

Baldwin was tested 85.44% filtration for 12~30 Microns of contaminants(Size of dirt particles)

VIC's testing was using 40 microns which is 10-28 microns or 43~75% bigger than Baldwin's average 10~30 microns. VIC was only tested for 10 minutes which is very alarming since it dropped 6% immediately based from the tests.

What you need to compare is VIC's 10, 20 & 30 Micron filtration rating with Baldwin in order to get the most accurate comparison:

VIC testing 30 microns: 71% and 10 microns: 4% at 5 minutes
VIC testing 30 microns: 68% and 10 microns: 4% at 10 minutes

Baldwin testing 12~30 microns: 85.44% unknown duration of test
