...or oil too?
I just replaced the headgasket on my 1989 Civic Si and it was dirty work to get all the old gasket off the block. I used rolled up utility towels to plug all the oil passages and vacuumed extensively during and after old headgasket scraping. So theoretically very little dirt got into oil.
This is my autocross car so I only drive it ~5500 miles a year and change oil once a year right before I put it away for winter. The last oil change was in November and I have put maybe few hundred miles on it since.
The oil is Amsoil Signature Series 10W30 and looks very clean, so I'm really thinking that the filter replacement should sufficient. Hate to just waist it.
What say you?
