Long story short but I changed my vehicles oil while I was out of town at a relatives house. It's a 2014 Toyota Camry four-cylinder, and I use mobile one 15,000 mile full synthetic but I change it to 10,000 miles. Like a bonehead I completely forgot to bring my wrench to change the oil filter housing and there isn't one at the only auto parts store near me for this fancy pants Toyota filter housing. The filter that I always use on this car is the Fram ultra synthetic. The car has 40,000 miles on it. I last changed the oil at 30,000 miles and roughly 90% of my driving is highway driving. So I made the executive decision to just change the oil and leave the filter and I'll change it out with the next oil change at 50,000 miles.
I've never done this before with any vehicle where I only change the fluid and leave the filter so I don't know if what I've done was extremely foolish or not that big of a deal.
As always your feedback is greatly appreciated
