But the media in the TG is much better than the extra guard. I don't see them changing mileage limit by just changing the ADV to silicone. It still needs a blended media for me to use it to 10,000 miles.
The Extra Guard is blended media.
They may up the mileage on the Ultra to 20k so guessing they'll up the mileage on the Extra Guard isn't too unreasonable. Also, the main reason (IMO) for them switching from nitrile to silicone would be a longer service life. Some here claim they behave better in the winter, but I haven't experienced that yet so I can't comment.
