even i can count the cost difference between an engine and an oil filter.

He is right. So why are you trying to belittle his response?
Why do you continue to stalk me?

I had a Suzuki inline 4 sport bike years ago, in the manual it specifically stated to change the oil filter every 3 oil changes, this worked out to 15,000kms. In a system where both the transmission, clutches, and engines shared the same oil .
I never understood why people changed their oil filters so frequently?, I change our oil filters in our cars every 2-3 oci's depending on use. After many cut open filters, and suzuki's recommendation, this is my current method of practice.
It has zero to do with cheapness, and everything to do with efficiency and purpose of the part.

i have said this before, so i hope you dont get to mad at me. my idea, is, all of the truly bad filters can be held in one hand. what think?

It depends on what size the FRAM filter is.

He's basically asking how many bad filters there are out there and there are probably none, except for FRAM. It depends on how big the FRAM filter is as to how many will fit in one hand.
FRAM 4967, maybe 3 in one hand. A PH8A, only 1.

Blue you need to read up on the ecore filters. They make the Fram orange cans look like an Ultra by comparison.
There's a pretty good looking one cut open on here right now though I'm not rolling that dice.

I still like the FU.

Thank you Dave. It's common sense that a filter will filter out smaller particles as they accumulate however some people are stuck in their ways,no matter how senseless they are.
I've got engines that are extremely high mile and none have any oil consumption nor oil issues whatsoever doing things the way I am.
I can understand a person with a new to them used vehicle doing some short oci and using flush type additives such as mmo to clean the engines out,I've done this myself,however once a person knows the insides of their engines are clean I see no reason not to extend the filter interval,however I won't trash on those who don't see things as I do.
To each their own,it's not my money,so I couldn't care less how it's spent.
As far as blue oval goes his opinion,from what I've seen up til now is in the same category as skyships,in my honest opinion.

Many good quality oil filters can be used for longer than most use them for. Some are not comfortable with not changing the filter with a drain of the oil, and that is okay. Some are comfortable with using a filter for longer than the oil is used, and that is okay also. One should think of an oil filter as being usable for X number of miles, not X number of oil changes. Someone using one filter for one 10,000 mile oil change interval is using for it the same number of miles as someone using one filter for two 5,000 mile oil changes. You shouldn't base filter life on the number of oil changes.
Filtration on industrial machinery is changed independently of the lubricant all the time. Filters have useful lives and lubricants have useful lives. Those don't always correlate. It's simply a matter of convenience to change an automotive oil filter during an oil change, so it's commonly done that way. But if you do your own maintenance, there's little reason to necessarily tie a filter change to a lubricant change. We do it simply out of convenience.

Because, as many members are finding out, its not necessary. So the question becomes, why do it every time?

This reminds me of the current changes the US is suddenly going through, esp. the last 5 years. Change is good, except in these 2 instances.
