Greetings Tykrz,
There are several oil filter studies done since 2000. I had done a bunch of study on filters and started using Puralotor product over the last few years. I use Havoline oil (not synthetics) and change every 2500 miles (except break-in period which is at 1,000 miles and at 2,000 miles). The used oil is all collected and and sent back to recycling.
My theory is that the most harmful things about oil is dirt - not breakdown of lubrication. So to me - synthetics or really expensive filters don't make sense - my interest is clean oil - all the time. Puralotors have good fit, tight design, and very acceptable filtering for the scenario I listed above.
Many viewpoints about oil and filters exist - this is just mine.
