I see this statement quite a bit, using a filter for 2 oci's, but I've never seen a bit of proof to back it up. I hear claims that people have done so, and "everything is alright", whatever that means. I guess it means the engine didn't seize up, or all is well even if the oil filter was in bypass the last few thousand miles.
I'm quite skeptical of these claims since there are so many filter media variations. Unless OEM specification states to use the oil filter for 2 OCIs, then it really doesn't make sense to do so to save a few dollars on an oil filter, or to make the oil change easier.
As much good information these forums provide, there's an equal amount of bad info, as always, buyer beware.
