Read the rest of their use statement ... "or unless otherwise specified by the vehicle's manufacturer."
So ... if a vehicle manufacture says to change the oil filter every 10K or 15K, then Purolator is saying their filter can meet that requirement.

I'm not convinced the chart is saying that. Again, why would the Classic and PureOne be rated for longer mileage use then their full synthetic filter, which they claim is their "long lasting filter".
