BHAF change interval

I know it all depends on driving conditions, but I pretty much drive on paved roads all the time. I installed the Donaldson BHAF and have an outerwears cover on it. I didn't reuse the filter minder. What kind of mileage can I expect out of this thing. I was going to replace the stock one every 15000 miles. The BHAF costs a little more than double the stocker, so I hope to get at least twice the life out of it.

Any thoughts....

Thanks

I've heard of 50K plus out of a BHAF with a prefilter.

If you have an air compressor you can just blow most of the dirt off of the filter and reuse it......

You will be able to go at least 35,000 miles without a prefilter. I have done it.
