Are you trying to waste money
You should always be looking to get the maximum value ..on anything.
The point I was making that it makes little sense to use a top tier filter if your dumping the oil anyway in a short OCI. You're not getting enough particle accumulation to bother with it. You'll spend too much money for not enough utility. Wasting money - getting low value out of it.
OTOH, if you're not throwing out your oil and money like yesterday's underwear for out often coveted "peace of mind quotient"..then you can get your MONEY'S WORTH out of a more expensive filter that offers better filtration than the $2.xx cheapie.
Over a 15k/year usage, you will not (typically) load a filter to saturation. The level of filtration will vary ..as will your particle accumulation.
