I have a 1994 Mustang Cobra that rarely gets used, which means I have to change the oil annually instead of according to mileage.
I'm using Mobil Full Synthetic High Mileage 5W30.
Filter is a FRAM TG16 rated for up to 15k miles.
Last oil change I left the filter on (well I emptied the old oil out of it then screwed it back on) but changed the oil. Can I leave the filter on again for the next oil change? In other words, do they get bad with age (and not just mileage)? There's only 2k miles on the filter at this point, so I don't want to be wasteful if it's not needed. The manufacturer only mentions a mileage interval to change it, not a time interval, so I assume it's ok:
Thanks in advance.
