Oil live depends on a lot of things,

1. The Air cleaner
2. Max oil Temp
3. Oil shear ( RPM)
4. Multi Grade Vrs Single grade
5. PCV Valve
and about 1 zillion others

If you want to extend you oil changes pull an oil sample and see what the lab
says.
A filter will not remove Antifreeze, acid, all insoluble or repair broken
multi-grade
additives such as polygluclamate aka (STP).
