I have a 2003 Yukon with a restriction indicator. As of 76,000 miles, it has not moved. I never remove the filter to "inspect" - I'm worried that handling it can result in seal damage or accidentally getting dirt on the clean side.
While the indicator is a good idea, the adhesive that seals the paper probably won't last forever. Therefore, I replace the filter every 7 years whether it needs it or not..
