Ok guys here we go.
I own 3 vehicles that has 3 litre Italian VM Motori engine. And I have tried many different filters on the past. Now, I reguired 3 different Frams to my stash.
I have already tested Extended and Tough Guard versions on my Jeep. Always ran between 15000 to 16000 km with PC Duron UHP 5W-40 or 0W-40 oil. Just changed oil and put Ultra filter on. Propably only Will go again about same oil change interval.
I dont know is there really a difference between normal and Tough version. They Look, feel and smell exactly The same.
Both worked very well on Ecodiesel. Tough Guard says good for 15000 Miles cause it has "synthetic blend media".
But Ultra seems to be different. It weigths more, has red casket and has totally different filter media. And it should Be good for 20000 Miles. But it definitely has more filtering area.
Should I go more than 15000 to 16000 km on this run? What do you guys think?
I know that Petro Canada UHP oils will last a lot more. It is group III and Group IV pao blend. Heavy duty trucks can run them between 100000 and 150000 km. Ok, they have totally different filtering systems But anyway.
