Kwix Filter Mod ?????'s

I'm going to do the filter mod, but was wondering how many liles do they last?
I know it depends on driving conditions, but there must be some idea how many miles between changes. I would expect to get more miles out of one due to it's large surface area.

most change it at 30,000 miles or less. but on a highway only vehicle, you can run way over 100,000 miles before it truely becomes clogged to the point where it becomes restrictive.

I changed it after a year. Probably 15K-20K on it, which I know is sooner than necessary. But, for about $30 shipped to my door, it's a nice peace of mind to know that I've got a clean filter.
