I've been lurking around for months trying to learn about oil, and making my truck run as long as possible.
I often see statements such as this:
"For a 5k run, I would use either the Purolator classic or Purolator PureOne. No reason to use a more expensive filter.
"
I don't understand the logic to using a cheaper filter for a shorter OCI. Isn't the goal to filter as well as possible, no matter what the OCI? Why wouldn't one want to use a synthetic media filter, rather than cellulose, for n number of miles, since the former supposedly filters better.
Maybe it is the case that the PureOnes filter as well as synthetic, but would be clogged in a long OCI? Is that what this person is saying?
For the price of a Starbucks, it seems more conservative to buy the better filter, in the off-chance that you can't change it on time - e.g. if there is a zombie apocalypse or something
