Just put a Fram TG on it, and change it every time. Personally, I am not going to mess around with a high dollar engine when filters are cheap.

The Ultra is rated for 24,000km and I will stick to that as I have no data to say it should or could go longer. But why would I change an inferior twice instead of keeping a better one on?

I'm curious to see what people will say. Since this is BITOG, I'm sure I know what most will say.
Depends on the car and how clean it is prior to that change -
Anything unknown or shown to be dirty last filter opening gets a 1-1 oil to filter change.
If its whistle clean last cut - Ill topside suck out the oil and just leave the filter on - I run mag drain plugs.
If you are bothering to take the filter off at all - just replace it.

On my diesels, I do the opposite. 2 filters for one OCI.

If you have a "sludger" you are cleaning up, or a rig that is loading up the filters thats when it makes sense to use a slightly lower quality filter (but never cheap) and dump it quicker.
Otherwise the " better" one just gets plugged up and goes into bypass and you might as well have no filter at all.

Because the fine print on Fram's warranty says to follow your owners manual not 15K.

agree these filters have only a little oil

If it's a Honda, it could very well be a 15K miles (or longer) change interval on the oil filter.

+1 was going to point this out... per the owners manual in both my Hondas , replace oil filter every other oil change.
