Since I'm thinking of leaving the Amsoil fanwagon, I'm considering which filter to use. I stopped by 3 different auto parts stores today and none carried the Fram Ultra, so it got me to thinking and I ask:
1) So in the educated BITOG opinion, is the standard Wix filter suitable for a 10k interval? Their website says "4000-7500 miles" . I know the XP would have no problem with it and was wondering about the "normal" Wix.
Also,
2) I am comparing FU vs Wix XP since I am planning a longer than specified OCI. Seems that they are constructed very similarly but the FU has the edge in how long it can be used.
I know I know the usual BITOG "use either with confidence" etc and I would. Just wanted to get some more-educated-than-me thoughts and opinions. The Wix is easier to get hold of, as in my travels today it was available at the stores I checked.
I know they might be available at WM but I generally stay away from that place. (Have a college buddy that was a manager there....WAS....nice stories he tells.)
Thanks in advance --
