I am not sure. I bought it as an alternative to the subaru outback filter. You might check the k&n; website for specs.

Yes it is a long life filter, I use it along with extended mileage Mobile 1 synthetic oil. Very good oil filter.

Hi, I have this accessory one year, I'll change the oil as soon as possible, but with a colleague who is engaged in servicing motorcycles. The weather is still unfavorable to him finished. When the oil filter is replaced, I'll know more. But I assume that the filter is a "classic" type, no exotics.

I don't know how many miles they are rated for but we have run Toyota filter for 5 k miles so we ran the k&n; filter for the same amount of miles and the Toyota ones look fine when we change the oil but this k&n; look like it had been thru a ringer we will be sticking with the Toyota ones from here on out

I have used this filter with full synthetic oil at 6000 mile intervals many times.

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?

Eventually the filter will need to be replaced. As long as you take care of it it last a long time.

This Mobil1 oil filter is one of the best on the market especially if you use Mobil-1 SuperSyn Synthetic oil. I've done all my oil changes with Mobil1 at 6k-10k miles intervals and the engine internals look like new at over 100k miles...

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.

From amazon I think I've read 1 year, from another website that sells the same filter I've read 1-2 I guess it depends how much you use it. Hope this helps!

Dear Sir or Madam:I'm very sorry. I don't know. I've changed the oil per the instructions, and I didn't see any mention of an oil filter. You may wish to consider looking for an on-line PDF version of the manual. Good luck.

I just put a piece of blue tape with the install date on the filter and replace in a year or if the flow slows appreciably (which in my usage/experience takes > 1 year). The filters have gotten more expensive - I used to get them for $70-80 so now I wait longer to replace :)

I don't believe so. I didn't purchase mine on Amazon hoever it came in a sealed IR box with a small air filter and bottle of oil. As others have said, when it's time to change the oil, I too strongly recommend IR brand synthetic.

Only if full synthetic was originally used.Otherwise, use Castrol part synthetic high mileage oil and a wix or purolator oil filter. The Castrol will last 5k miles before it needs changed. The Valvoline full synthetic is completely broken down by 3k miles. Off the shelf "full synthetic" oil is simply base oil with additional additives, it is junk. Schaeffer, Amsoil and Royal Purple make FAR superior products.

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

I'm no automotive expert. That said, I've been using synthetic oil in my 4 Toyotas for more than 10 years now and never had a problem. There is no reason to expect a problem since synthetic oil is just a chemically pure form of standard distilled oil and designed to match it. Keep in mind that you can mix synthetic oil with ordinary oil. In fact they sell it that way all the time. I've never heard anyone claim there would be a problem using standard filters with synthetic oil.

Yes, however, there is absolutely no factory support for maintenance of these filters. I have a 5300 & a 5500 and use this("washable") filter on both. Except for the "change filter" there is no way to diagnose filter performance.

I have no idea. I have my car for 3 years now. this is the first time i replace it because the dealer said it was dirty. they where going to charge me and arm and leg so i went and bouth this replacement and did it myself. I would say everytime you change your engine oil check this filter and change it when it looks dirty.
