What if it's used on a Honda that has the maintenance schedule that says to use it for 2x OCIs? Per Purolator, their filters are designed to do whatever the vehicle manufacturer's maintenance schedule recommends.
Purolator states that the P1 oil filter should be changed every 3,000 miles or 3 months; therefore, there is no way that I am going to choose to interpret the statement that follows this on the website to mean that I can run this filter for 11,000 miles. Purolator has an extended service oil filter, and it is not the P1.
But you only read half of Purolator's use statement. It says right on their website:
"Purolator PureONE oil filters should be replaced every 3,000 miles or 3 months depending on the driving conditions -
or unless otherwise specified by the vehicle's manufacturer."
"
Or unless otherwise specified by the vehicle's manufacturer" means that if Honda says do 2x 7,500 mile OCIs, then Purolator is saying the PureOne will do that. Or if GM says to change oil & filter by the OLM and grandma sees 13,539 miles when the OLM = 0% oil life left, then Purolator is saying it can do that. Call their Tech Support line and verify this yourself.

For the Purolator Synthetic, Purolator says it's rated at 10,000 miles.
Maybe Purolator needs to change their statement?
