I change my Mobil 1 15W-50 at 5,000 mile intervals on my 9-5 2.3lpt with 116,800 miles. Have used Fram X2 for last two oil changes. Saab OEM used for all before that. If this filter is as adverised it certainly should be still in great shape at 5,000 miles. The increased capacity is also a good feature. By the way, this is not a paper filter but a fiber as described below. The .gif illustration may or may not work but can be seen on the Fram website, link below. Ian

A breakthrough combination of advanced media, proprietary FRAM TRIAD™ Fiber Technology,and Extended Life construction, FRAM X2 Extended Guard Oil Filter is the very first premium oil filter to offer an amazing 7,000 miles plus performance!
Advanced engineering
