New oil is typically never clean enough for common applications and should be filtered before installation. A good rule of thumb is that new oil should be filtered to two (2) ISO levels cleaner than the target cleanliness of the intended component. When shopping for a filtration system to do the job, consider one that can securely fit on top of the drum, has optional flow rates, is compact, and can be customized to your needs, such as a Drum Topper.
