Title says it all. How long should one of these Motorcraft filters be good considering roughly 50/50 in town and highway. Climate is typical midwestern.
Any ideas?

I have run them over 10k before and they held up great! No issues whatsoever.

Thet never have been Pure Ones.
I think Johnny a member in this site runs the same filter on his car for 10,000 miles so its good for that long at least.
Id say that depending on the oil used and the driving conditions you could go anywhere from 5000-7500.
This is great to know. I was going to do 6k OCI with my PP fill, but now I just might stretchhhh it a little longer. I guess the New England winters and the other three seasons might hold me back from doing so.

How much annual mileage? Can we assume a consistent daily drive that distributes the mileage relatively evenly between urban and highway ..and season to season?

IMO, they are ~ 5k filter. Son has used them pretty much exclusively on his Explorer. I cut one open in December on his last OCI, and it is very well made. His OLM is consistent at ~5k.
It's not a P1, not with a rated efficiency of 80%. Though I have to say by looking at, it looks closer to Classic efficiency.
I suppose you could stretch the 820 to ~6k, but @ $3.67 at Wally, not much point IMO.

Why try to extend the OCI? A new one is cheaper than a Happy Meal.
A new filter, (apparently anwhere outside of where Ilive, lol) is under three dollars. So why not change it out every 5k like the manual says?

Why not? I don't want to do anything more than I have to. It cuts into elective toil. If I want to change oil and filters for elective time expenditures, I've got plenty of people in the extended family fleet.
