Re: Change Your Oil

If you do short interval oil changes, you don't have to change the oil filter each time. Change it every other time.

What you are avoiding with short interval changes is oil degradation. The oil filter is still more than serviceable. It's ability to filter properly is based on what it has picked up along the way. If your engine is in a good state of tune and your oil changes are more frequent, don't worry so much about it. You can inspect it if you want. But you don't have to always change it.
