Then a better/finer/larger volume filter would be beneficial.
Synthetic oils will last more or less forever inside a modern engine. Only contamination and maybe running out of additives will force oil changes.
So a better filter with a finer rating, and a bigger particle holding capacity will allow the oil to stay cleaner for much longer.
With modern synthetic oils, viscosity does not vary from cold to hot as much as mineral oils does, so a larger/finer filter may well be possible without any reduction in flow rate or drop in oil pressure.You would think that the Mobil 1 filter could be designed with this in mind....
Of you don't want to extend oil changes, just stick with a good oem filter.The only other thing is maybe older really dirty running engines could benefit - eg air cooled engines which run at temperature extremes - Classic Porsche, VW, Fiat etc. Synthetics and better filtration can make a big difference with wear and tear on these because of their better temperature stability and improved filter technology.
