Readers Digest, in a report to consumers, answered une question this way: “To protect your engine and your warranty, changing the oil filter frequently is important. The filter removes the heavy grit and dust that your engine has sucked in; eventuallyit gets clogged and can take no more, If you change oil after 4,000 to 6,000 miles, it certainly pays to install a new filter each time.
