What kind of filter, for what car? For extended intervals it's advised to use a quality filter like Amsoil EaO, Pure1, Wix. These filters have sturdier construction with the steel endcaps (as opposed to cardboard in Frams) and in the case of the Amsoil EaO, extra filtration media. It's just extra assurance that the filter media won't deform or the bypass valve failing - though I haven't seen a case where an OEM filter ever failed in that region of interval. For my car I just use the Honda OEM filters. They work just fine, I cut one open one time and it was fine for a 12k interval. Should've taken a photo, my hands were way too oily though
