Your current practice is just fine. Any other filter and you would want to do the same thing, unless you decided to use the amsoil filter, then you can go as long as your oil.

I like the Fleetguard Stratapore (LF3894) myself. Fleetguard is a sister company of Cummins.

I use all fleetguard always. Thats one thing i guess im pretty brand loyal on. I Dont trust NAPA or anything else. Napa rep told me that they were cummins approved but couldn't show me where it stated so i said no-thnx. probably its a good filter but ive always ran fleetguard for everything.

The amsoil filter is 98% absolute efficient at 15 microns. Most aftermarket filters are around 20-25. Many state their "nominal" rating which might say 8-10 or something like that, but that's nominal.
