We have a winner. Can't go wrong with this combination for OCI's up to 5K miles.

How much bigger in size (% wise) is it than our Gs thimble-size filters? Sounds like a good idea

The normal PureOne is 14612. The bigger one is 14610. Same circumfrence, but 0.4" longer (12.5% longer). Unless you are running OCIs past 5K miles, it shouldn't make a difference.

There are just a few threads about this.
I use Pennzoil Ultra with a Wix filter 7500 mile OCI.
