Could you explain what you mean about mileage? There are multiple factors to consider, but ability to go "X" miles certainly has to be a factor.

I get a minimum of 5,500-6,000 miles on ac delco filters

I only got 2,000 on the fram ultra before (I changed it at 2,500 was extremely dirty and very black in color)

42$ out the door.

The engine also burned 2qt of oil
this is very odd for the engine since it never burns oil at that rate

normally it's 1/4qt to 3/4qt per oil change
which is way under manufacture spec for 6,000 miles (GM claims spec is 1qt per 1k miles). they set the bar high to avoid warranty repairs

I have to get at lest 5,000 to 6,000 to get my moneys worth on the FULL synthetic oil .

25$ FULL synthetic oil
4$ for filter
10$ for oil change

about
$42

I got lucky it did not turn into "sludge" I think the fram filters have something on them that turns the oil into sludge.
