I changed the o-ring at 5k (just because the previous owner had bought one and left it under the seat) and I'll probably change it again at 10k, but I don't think it's a big deal either way unless it's dried out or broken or something (but I could be wrong). And I always do the oil-around-the-gasket thing too, since that's the way my dad taught me to install the filter on a car. Not sure if that really matters, either.
