[QUOTE="Johnny O, post: 949603, member: 61743"] Mobil 1 and K&N oil filters have a synthetic filter element, meaning that they have uniform porosity. Most other filters use paper elements and their porosity is not uniform because, well, that's the nature of paper. There will be big holes and small holes in the filter element. A synthetic element would be stronger as well. Mobil 1 or other quality synthetics (and the filter) will probably be good for 10k. I would change it at 7500 the first time and get a used oil analysis just to be safe. Come to think, that IS what I'm doing right now. :haveabeer: [/QUOTE]
