one is meant to change at 7500 miles the other is like 20k miles..either one will do as I'm sure you do the 5k oil change......oil is pretty much oil it's the filter..buy only hasting or k/n hasting makes oil filter for amsoil.....use magnetic drain plugs I used to put a magnet on the bottom of my oil pan and one on the filter

I would do it every 5k....then the cost is about the same with using reg oil and changing it at 3k..
