Not happy with new Amsoil bypass filter

I just got my latest oil sample back and the soot/solids numbers are up by quite a bit. It's higher then even those samples with way more miles on the oil. By the trends I would be surprised if this was just a fluke in the testing but time will tell. I still have one old one left that I will put on at my next oil change probably around 50 or 60k miles.

The mileage figures below are miles on oil.

27,800 miles 0.66/EaBP100

76,535 miles 0.10/BP100
52,839 miles 0.09/BP100
25,900 miles 0.06/BP100
