I had Walmart change my oil. The manager stated they did not have any Fram's in stock at the time they changed my oil and were using another type. Apparently they did have a Fram as I have one installed, I saw some orange under my car with some gray on it....It does not worry me too much as I used them for the first 60k of my car's life with 4k+ OCI (free dealer changes except filter).

Harper,
Thank you for your reply e-mail regarding the PH3593A oil filter.
We welcome the opportunity to be of assistance.
Typically Fram Extra Guard ("PH") oil filters have a service life of
3,000-4,000 miles in normal operating conditions. However keep in mind that
extreme weather conditions and severe driving conditions can also play a
part in the service life.
Thank you for choosing Fram filters. We trust you find this information
useful.

I guess I will dump the Mobil 1 at 4k miles.
