Does Extended Performance really mean you only have to change the oil filter every 15000 miles versus 5000?

That's what they say, I change mine every 4500 or so. If you want to test it they have a company in Dallas Tx were you can mail a sample to see if the oil is still good. Hope this helps

Hey....I have not had to change the oil yet, it's less than two months or so old....I have only used it 3 times now...are you having issues?

I use the Mobil 1 M1-301 Extended Oil filter for my 2002 VW Passat wagon with the 4 cyl 1.8T motor. This is a superior oil filter that I use with Mobil 1 Extended performance oil which recommends using the oil for 15,000 miles. I change it every 10,000 miles. My VW has 206,000 miles and runs great.

If you manage to keep your foot of the throttle it can give you 1 to 2 miles more a gallon. Well that what I get on a 2005 f350 dually. On street tune.

No, the recommended use for this product is with the oil change every 50k kilometers

I've never recommended synthetic on a new engine (excluding vehicles which *require* synthetic -- different from *recommended*). I like to do the first 3 or 4 oil changes on any new engine with conventional, before considering synthetic, which is typically about 6k miles (the key to conventional is to change it often). If your engine is already well broken in, synthetic is good. I've seen strange things happen when synthetic is used too early in a new engine which was designed to run conventional. Just make sure to warm the engine up well before running it hard, and avoid short run times, especially when it's cold out.

Yes, you will notice a benefit in fuel mileage and a small benefit in performance. I've used K&N; filters on every car I've owned for the last 20 yrs! You can't beat the price on Amazon for a drop-in filter.

I'm not an expert, but I would say you could easily go 5,000 miles minimum. Something else you can do, have an oil analysis done after that 5k miles. Swing over to Blackstone Labs' website, send off an oil sample and they will email you a detailed report on how the oil held up and whether you can run it longer or should change it more often. The reports may also indicate other things too, such as metal content in the oil (inadequate lubrication) or if there is coolant or fuel mixed in the oil. The cost is extremely reasonable.

That depends on the car and the way it has been driven. My Honda "tells" me when it wants fresh oil, typically around 10,000 miles. This high quality filter makes me more comfortable waiting that long.

No difference in mine. Unless you were really in need of a change or you had some burnt oil this shouldn't have had any noticeable affect.

The filter comes pre-oiled. They recommend oiling the filter after 50,000 miles using their recharge kit.

That depends on driving habits. Lucas will keep fuel injectors and fuel system clean which may increase mileage, however it will decrease the possibliy of injector replacement, which is spendy. I keep a close eye on mileage and can tell you I've noticed an increase, slight, but none-the-less an increase. I hesitate to say how much, because as stated early on, that depneds on driving habits.

It filters large pieces of debris out. The filter is not an oil filter as in a engine oil filter. It's a macro filter. No filter needs to be purchased that I know of.

It filters better than a K&N;, but I still bought one of the AFE filter wraps so I don't have to clean it as often, live on a gravel road, lots of dust in summer.

For my personal use and using Mobile synthetic oil,usually use it for up to 10,000 miles...

The additive should be added at each oil change. All [99.9%] drains out with the oil dumped. Only a very small amount remains on the residual oil. Todays synthetics can go up to 15K miles so this is the duration of Liqui Moly as well.

I've had one for 7 years and it works fine. I have regularly changed the air filters and oil.
