This filter was in use from last July 6th til today on the Sedona, so just under one year. It was used for 2 OCIs. Filter looked fine, no tears or anything else strange. I installed another XG9999 and am going to use it for 2 OCIs also, totaling around 16k miles this next time.
I might do the opposite. Since you are running good syn oil and the filter is easy to change. Run the oil 2 oic's and change the filter twice. You could do one oil analysis for your peace of mind.
I'm running a Fram Ultra on my Accord for 2 OCIs. No point changing it if it doesn't need it. Honda recommends changing the filter every other change anyhow.
