Manual says every other I believe. Should I be changing the filter every oil change or are most people doing it every other?

Just wanted to ask before I go do it. I changed my filter and oil 3000 miles ago.

 

Depends on how you drive it, and if it's the first change or not... But I sure as hell would never change the oil in any engine without changing the filter.

 

I would change my filter every oil change. Just to be safe.

 

I change both on mine every 2500 miles. I own a auto parts franchise and you will not believe how many shops don't change the oil filter during an oil change.

It's always good to change both but if you were poor as crap, your car wouldn't blow up because you didn't change your oil filter every oil change. But if your worried about the warranty I would because might get you for that.

 

If it's a financial consideration that's making you question whether or not to change the filter on an Evo X, I think we need to sit down and have another financial talk first

 

defintely change it every time, not changing it would be like taking a shower and not changing your underwear.

 

i change it every time, i would say it is more important to change then the oil in a high proforacme car

 

Cool, thanks guys, going to change the filter.

Also, if anyone knows about the size of the oil filter wrench I need see my other post...

 

i change oil all the freakin time, i love changing my own oil. besides the oil gets dirty pretty quick.

 

I would never do that. Its an inexpensive cost and not worth the risk.

 

haha word!

 

Change everytime. OF is not something expensive to replace anyways.

 

I changed every time as well... cheap insurance for your motors longevity.

 

Yeah definitely change the filter every oil change

 

No doubt about this... Every time. Like an earlier post mentioned - if it's financial reasons causing you to think about this, you really should consider buying another car.
