Well there is a better Fram, XG4967, it has a steel screen/walls as well as silicone seals, supposed to last 10 to 15K miles. I use this filter in my Uly and Tiger. In the Uly I used to change oil filter the opposite times I changed the primary oil, cost of my DIY oil change was about the same. Now that I moved out of the city about 30 miles, the environment I would consider the extreme conditions, I am changing the primary oil and oil filter everytime at 3K miles or less.
