Posted many times. Here is a search

Also knowing what vehicle, engine, how you drive, history of the engine and oil would make any comment more useful. Without that info any comment is a poor guess IMO.

Take care, Bill

Find out the holding capacity and index it for the efficiency rating. There's no formula "rule" but if (for example) you know that they both have the same holding capacity, the one with lower efficiency will last longer in service without becoming saturated. There can be exceptions, but generally speaking that would be how I would determine it.

Keep in mind that most of the stuff filtered is produced during the start up/warm up cycle. You pluck some stuff out of the oil as it fatigues, but the majority is produced during the fuel enrichment part of the driving cycle. So there is no "mile" rating on a filter. That is, a 15k filter isn't necessarily a 15k filter under all circumstances. It's a 15k filter when 15k is accumulated over (something like) 1 year of service.

If you hadn't added the Fast & Furious tidbit, 15k is no problem under those conditions for just about any filter. You're about 90 miles a day of low production of filterable material. They're mostly invisible to the filter.

Recently I changer oil and filter for a friend.(Mobil 1 5w30 Extended Protection and Mobil 1 filter) OCI was 15,500 miles on an engine with 115K. I cut the filter apart and it looked very clean. No sludge at all and no grit could be found by eye. So if your engine is very clean, as his is, 15K with a Mobil 1 filter is no problem for the average engine.

Can you run over sized on that vehicle?,that would greatly increase mileage potential.
