Has anyone else cut apart a filter after 12,000 miles and found the media slightly torn apart at the end seal? This was a Supertech, though. In a warm climate, the media doesn't have to survive hundreds of high stress cold starts.
I've thought about doing 20k or 2yr changes with PureOne's. I've been doing 1yr 10k the last few years. The PureOne is well built and I hate the thought of wasting a good filter.
I'm looking to do 6-7k OCI's and change filter every other, so filter change at 12-14k with Pure One 20195 (or 10241 if the 20195 is too long). This is on a Mazdaspeed 3, and I drive ~25k a year.
I purchased a couple of PureOne 14610 filters for my 2003 Honda CRV that I will try for the first time. I have used the Premium Plus and the Advanced Auto Total Grip a few times and was satisfied.
