If I go longer between oil change intervals, do I need to change my oil filter more frequently? Or do I need a special filter?
Continue to change your oil filter when you change your engine oil. Special filters or more frequent oil filter changes are not required.
Mobil 1 Oil Filters provide outstanding performance during longer oil change intervals. Mobil 1 Oil Filters are designed to offer excellent efficiency (remove more engine oil impurities) and high capacity (60 percent greater capacity than conventional oil filters) which make them ideal candidates for longer oil change intervals.
Although the new BMW's go 15000 miles on oil and filter I'm not comfortable with going 15000 with oil let alone oil filter.
I posted in another thread how tiny the filter is in our '05 Corolla.
I would probably go a year on the oil which is about 12000 miles for us but don't trust a filter for that long.
Still have alot of Mobil 1 left before I try the new Mobil 1 extended life.
So I'll continue with changing the oil and filter every six months.
