I think I would go ahead and change the oil filter and probably back off that OCI a bit.
I wonder is this is the same M1 0/40 we get here.

40,000 km on a standard filter....?
This is gonna be gooood.
This is gonna be gooood.
Unless the engine is smudged it really won't matter, as filters get more efficient with use...however, at some point it becomes a false economy IMO
Are Fram Ultra oil filters available in Italy? That is the best to use here probably, holds the most gunk.
I wouldn't go past 15k miles on any oil filter, including a Fram Ultra.
You might be able to get that 0.6 (high) insolubles down using a better filter.
The fact that you put in 2 quarts of make-up oil means the 20k miles is not bad. Evidence is your low iron (for that many miles).
Maybe get a Magnetic Drain Plug to scour out any very small iron particles for that amount of time.

It won't matter? You think a cheap filter will handle 30-40k miles without tearing?

He already ran 32000 km and Blackstone suggested he drop it to 25000 km...I think he might end up with 57000 km on that filter.

Not really, well if you really want it you can, but it's sooo expensive !
But you can get the OEM Renault FIlter which is a Purflux filter (or directly the Purflux model), a chevron design. The filters are IMO suite small to withstand so much use, but why not after all, if it's not bypassed.

Cambiare il filtro olio a 10.000 miglia e il tuo olio a 15.000 miglia almeno.
Which means change Purflux filters at 10,000 miles, and the oil at 15,000 miles. ... Please.

Yep. Plus I noticed a trend of diminishing quality in Purflux filters...now some of the simplest designs are made in China
That exhaust manifold is super tight and places that tiny hot turbo right by that valve cover. I'd be willing to bet there's nothing you can do to prevent the UNDERSIDE of your valve cover from getting ugly and it doesn't matter anyway.
Change that filter out and I'd do 15k mile intervals for both oil and filter.

Aha, sure. If the filter doesn't get clogged with sludge and blows your motor.

Put me down for “Not a good idea”, but by all means let us see the filter....
