Many people change their oil (and filter) every 5-6000km. Using this as the preface for my question, how would you describe/compare the difference in ability to filter impurities between an Sti and Wrx oil filter when doing oil (Mobil 1 5W-30) and filter changes every 12,000km instead? Very interested to hear your professional opinion on this matter.

@lauriejamesmackeson its all a balance of cost Vs benefit

we see good and BAD examples of ppl servicing their car/s. if you are happy to do a oil and filter change every 5k and use a STi filter then your engine will be MUCH better condition than someone who does a 12 k svc with a crap no name brand filter!

I hope this helps

@Brettmiddleton Are you able to offer a (cheaper) alternative, but equally suitable oil (than Mobil 1 5W-30) because I would like to do 'double' changes but don't want to pay the $80-90 for oil each time. Thanks for helping out with the more simple questions regarding car maintenance.
