Purolator pure 1 and Mobil 1 are both great filters.

Changing oil (especially synthetic) at 3000 miles is a huge waste of money. Even on a turbo motor you can easily go 5000 miles. If you don't believe me, send a sample of your used oil to a lab such as this one:

Also, our turbos are WATER COOLED, and the motor has an OIL COOLER. There's virtually no chance of oil coking in the turbo or oil breaking down from high temps.

I really don't mean to sound critical, and don't take it personally, but it amazes me how people send alot of money on a car and then try to cheap with it. Yes sythentic lasts longer, but the question is not could you let it go longer, but should you. I've changed my oil passed 3k, and even syth gets too dark for my taste. Plus, yes the oil will last longer, but what about the filter? Yes our turbos are water cooled and oil lubed, but if you think it oil won't coke, try driving it really hard, park, shut it off and open the hood. The heat coming from the turbo is incredible. No water cooling accuring if the car is off. The oil will sit there and cook, even syth. This is just like the regular gas it the GT's issue. People please, stop being cheap! Use premium gas in the GT and Stage 1's, and change your oil and filter every 3K regardless of the filter or if you run dino or syth. Hey if you don't want you engines and turbos to last that's on you. As for me, my car note is huge and I pay a good amount of car insurance, put I only put in the good stuff. Premium gas, Mobil 1 and K&N oil filters, period!
