I went to purchase a filter for my Civic and this filter was on sale and cheaper than anything else, including the Driveworks brand. I bought it not realizing the Pure One was much better. My question is, does the Classic provide exceptional filtering for my 1.8L motor? I plan on changing it around every 15K miles, but want to keep the car a long time and would like the best protection (within reason). I'd rather not do the expensive K&N's, but if the Fram Extra Guard (4 dollars more than Classic) or Pure One are much better filters, I'd like to know... Oh, and what about Honda OEM? I know it's more expensive, but is it "best"?
Edit: BTW, my driving habits are extremely conservative, and it sees about 70 hwy/30 city and some roads are a little dusty (so much road construction going on), but I wouldn't consider it severe.
