Long Life oil filters

[Iain Atkinson]

Never heard of a longlife oil filter, and i work for audi in the uk maybe
it's market specific, the only thing i am thinking of is a filter that's
designed to work with audi's long life service programme i.e petrol cars
19000 miles or 2 years and diesel 30000 miles or 2years maximum in both
cases.

I would stick to your original thoughts and chnage it every 10k (kms or 6k
miles).
