Hi All,
As some of you know, lately I have been trying different oils, Castrol Syntec 20w50, Pennzoil Platinum 5w30 and Mobil 1 5w40. During these changes I have not switched out the filter as both cars have filters with less than 2k miles on them. Is that an unwise thing to do and should I have changed the filters with those oil changes? FYI the filters are the Mobil 1 EXT and the Amsoil 25k filter. They were not cheap filters and I want to make sure I am not hurting anything by leaving them in. Thank you.
