You're right though! Nothing gets past those filters! My crankshaft and bearings show the results - completely undamaged even though my camshaft looks like someone beat it with a hammer.
Good suggestion. When I plumbed this I used what I had on the shelf. You know how that is, once installed you move on and forget it. I will make those changes the next time I do an oil change which is real soon. The trip to Michigan was 2355 miles(Motor State Challenge).
