Whoa buddy, a period in your paragraph would make it a little easier to read :D

Anyway, yes, you should change the filter at the same time you change your oil. 10k on a filter is way too much IMO.

buddy, CHANGE THE FILTER..i only read half of your post but always change the filter...if you just change the oil that is not really doing any good because the old oil filter will contain contaminants and grime and metal flakes (perhaps) and needs to be replaced...YO

You should change the filter everytime you change the oil..
Its a filter, so it'll last however long you want it to last, but its less efficient in whay it does. To recap, new oil + old filter = not a great idea..

you mean kilometers right? if so thats about 6200miles, depending on the quality of filter 12k miles isnt too bad, its not good either.

I would just do another oil change in about 2k kilometers and replace the filter at the same time.

yep ill run like this for a nother 2k kilometers then im going to replace the filter at the same time has oil change

thanx ppl
