If you were going to use the mobil 1 15k oil, then what filter did you get? if i was going to go the full 15k i would have gotten the mobil1 filter. it is supposedly one of the top filters you can purchase perhaps behind the K&N oil filter.

if you used wix i wouldn't go more than 7.5k miles and if you used a house brand, i wouldn't go more than 3. Synthetic oil generally doesn't get as dirty as regular oil though, so it kinda depends on what you are comfortable with.
The place I got my oil at only had k&n filters and fram filters and........ like a dumbass I got the fram. At the time I was just looking for some full synthetic oil and I seen that the mobil 1 only had to be changed every 15k, so I said why not go with this kind. But for some odd reason the thought of getting a top of the line oil filter didnt cross my minded.
I've heard of royal purple before but I dont remember ever seeing it anywhere, is it sold in must automotive stores(like autozone,pepboys)?
