It's marked right on the front of the box
Oh Ok. I guess I just never paid attention to the box much except for finding the part no. I immediately open the box to make sure the right filter is in there. What happens to filter design to make it go from just another filter to suitable for 10k?
When Supertech switched from Wix made to Champ made, the 10,000 mile rating showed up.
Champ has apparently tested their filters and designed them to last for 10,000 miles.
Same for Fram, even their "cheap" filter now carries a 10,000 mile life. No idea what (if anything) has changed for that, but am sure Fram has does the research and can back the claim.
