Purolator seems to be problematic on these forums with torn filter media. I certainly would not intentionally run any filter past what it is rated for, especially a Purolator.

It's been done many times before especially highway miles that aren't severe service.
Purolator woes sort of disappeared lately because everyone else has now built down to their standard.

10k miles per website:

Even if the can says 5k miles, it wouldn't bother me to run it out to 6k miles.
Purolator® Oil Filters
The proven filtration performance of original Purolator® Oil Filters is best used for normal driving conditions, habits and oil change requirements.

I am still seeing listings at 5k so his may be that. The puro one was 10k...10k miles per website:

I guess it depends how old your filter is... I do see 10 k listed as well for the red.
Can't imagine using a filter that is rated for 5K; that screams "marginal" and how does the filter know how many miles you've driven?

You have to ask it...
Prudent advice, I agree tasch72.
The ADBV going to silicone more than likely went with the mileage move to 10k.
I keep reading this but, have there actually been any documented cases of filter media tear on purolator one filters in the last 3 years?
I've beeb using pyrolators off and on since just before 2010 never have had a tearolator YMMV.
Probably becaseu you havn't beeb using Purolators.
I'd be afraid of a Pyrolator starting on fire.
It's the automatic ADBV burn test feature, lol.
