So there you have it. Clicker style by-pass valve Super Tech ST3600 filter used 5824 miles. Previous change before this one was also ST3600 clicker valve filter and Mobil 1 0-20W oil but 9198 miles between changes.
I have now switched to the E-core which has even better media than the old clicker valve style element. So I would expect a continued drop in wear contaminants. With the exception of silicon because I will be changing my air filter soon.
