2007 Crown Vic P71, 4.6L V8, about 175k miles (not my car)... About 14-15k miles on this filter with Chevron supreme 5w-20. In went Casteol Magnatec 5w-20 and a MicroGard filter.

It's drained now but even before it was basically the same

I'd guess maybe 6 months?

Agreed! I'm interested to see how the Microgard will look when I get the car back for an oil change next time. We're hoping for about a 7500mi OCI but knowing the owner, it'll probably be more than that - probably another 10-15K.

I would not run the MicroGard for 15k miles. Not even 10k. Not even in a Crown Vic. It's good for 5-7k at best.

Well here's to hoping my friend actually brings the car back at 7500 miles like I told him to... I have a bunch of Microgards floating around so I want to use them up, but I don't use them on my car. He doesn't care about brand of filter or even what brand of oil goes in so I'm using whatever I have for free because he's on a budget.
