20k? Royal Purple filter

Royal Purple doesn't give a mileage rating, they just call it an "extended life oil filter" I'd say run it as long as you'd run a fram Ultra, or a TRD Oil Filter, since I believe these are Identical to the TRD filter.
The mileage rating should be 15,000 miles max per RP's website IIRC.
I wouldn't run any filter that long, but I would run a RP filter as long as I dared a single filter to last

I mean, just by the photos? Oh heck yes. That thing looks high quality compared to others I’ve seen. The pleats look nice and uniform all around (Probably synthetic) There’s metal end caps. There is a metal core. There is even a rubber gasket at the top of those caps to seal it to the housing better.
What did that thing cost? That has to be a $20 dollar filter, no?
I’m running a Fram Ultra right now in my Toyota, it looks good, but nothing like that thing.

Yup.
Sure looks that way, and both made by Champ Labs.
A well made cartridge, if you choose to, 20k mi. doable imo.

I put 12K on the 20-500 … that was two oil changes … clean engine with premium oil …
Its on their website, I don't think they are really interested in one off customers
I know that Amsoil oil filters, which are similar if not the same as Royal Purple filters, claim to be able to be used for up to 25,000 miles under optimum circumstances with 15,000 miles being their standard recommended usage. I personally would go no more than 15,000 miles but I can't stop anyone from doing anything otherwise.
Different mileage numbers on amazon.com website. That is what made me curious.Its on their website, I don't think they are really interested in one off customers
Oil filter longevity is determined by only one thing… engine cleanliness.
If your engine doesn’t produce a bunch of carbon between your average oil changes, you can definitely 2x the filter usage without any negative side effect.
The filter media itself can handle it. Your main concern should be a completely loaded up filter to where it starts restricting oil flow.
These questions about how long you can run an oil filter are extremely annoying. We can’t give any reasonable advice without seeing how much carbon is collected in your oil filters. Post some pics.

It also depends on the holding capacity of the media, and the total surface area of the media. Not all media is created equal, nor can hold the same amount of debis per square inch.
Isn't Royal Purple suppose to be an Amsoil copy?
I don't know if you can really say any of them are "copy" Amsoil and Royal Purple are both marketing companies that buy filters made by someone else.
