Quick Answer: No

Typical automotive filters for your oil used at those 30-minute service shops generally remove about 76% of contaminants over their 3,000-mile lifespan. When you opt for a premium automotive filter replacement like the Premium Guard Extended Life filter, 98% of the contaminants are captured for up to 10,000 miles.

It all depends on the type of media inside the filter that is used to trap the dirt. Look for a synthetic media able to catch debris as small as 10 microns for better performance.
