Believe in keeping the anti-wear triangle strong, so tangible enough for me.
Why are you using that high efficiency TG and not a 50% @ 20u filter.
Capacity for my longer OCIs; I typically run 10-15k miles.
IMO (and that's all it is), the TG is one of the best values out there. High efficiency, good capacity, reasonable cost. Anything from a MC to a TG to Wix/NG is fine by me. It's just that the TG is the best "value" for my criteria.
I am seriously considering running the OCOD for some longer OCIs, just to see people here wince ... It is, after all, a 95% glass-enhanced filter per Jay.
Dave-you can run an Extra Guard for 10K plus, my brother has done it several times on his '02 Altima 2.5, and they've always looked good when cut open (PH7317s). Now approaching 200K and still not burning any oil between changes, somehow-but currently laid up due to missing floorboards (rust victim).
