BOF- You make me laugh.
For me, the big writing on the side of the box saying that it is rated for 15,000 miles is enough. I wouldn't see FRAM using the excuse of 1 oci vs. 2 or even 5 if you want to be part of the new old school thinking (15k filter -new, 3k oci - old) as any reason to deny coverage. I didn't see any small print on the box. Is there any?
I hate to assume, but I would bet some serious testing has been done to give the filter a 15,000 mile rating.
In the end, you can do as you wish. I bet you will never run an Ultra for two OCI. I look forward to not changing the filter sometimes. Removing skid plates and cleaning up the mess of the old oil isn't the fun part of my oil obsession. Heck, I even have a Mityvac, so I can change the oil from up top when presented the opportunity.
The best part about a capitalist economy is that we can all choose to do it the way we'd like, to a certain degree.
