You would be surprised how clean modern engines run. I can barely see anything in my mobil1 filter media after 10K miles on Toyota engine. So 20K miles is really not stretching for filter.
Yes, filters are cheap, but if you change your oil every 8-10K miles and DIY, it saves some time and job is less messy.

This is the ultimate placebo subject on BITOG …
Throwing out perfectly good oil and filters is more about feelings than mechanical engineering

I agree. Some engines retain more than others.
Btw, not that it matters but I think you were trying to quote pbm. Not sure why it's showing my name?
Then you immediately Shart the old oil into the new filter and back through the engine so you go from dirty pair to dirty pair anyway.
Me too, but then I was able to THINK and UNDERSTAND my way out of it.
It has paid off.
So what do you do about all the old oil your engine retains up inside of it every single time? Please explain your procedure how you remove it. Thanks.
Is your underwear dirty at 12 noon? Do you stop in your tracks at 12 noon each day to change your underwear? Why Not??
A gazillion filters are thrown away with over half their capacity totally unused. Look at all the C&P. Look at Honda. Look all around here.
Never even thought to do this.
Maybe in her car but not my truck LOL.
Just had winter tires put on so I had them change the oil even with my stash waiting at home.
maybe next time.
and on second thought, the worst thing about the truck is when you remove the filter, the splash pan causes it to go everywhere. Some even goes in the oil collection container LOL.

Machinery Lubrication states that filters are MORE important than oil choice + should ALWAYS be changed with the oil!! i might add although many filters are better BUT their TEA CUP sizing ia an ISSUE. like extending changes skipping the filter is just "penny wise + dollar foolish" aka STUPID!!! not rushing the drain is good as well + if its a DIY raise the vehicle to get the drain plug lower + see the DIRTY oil drain vs a level lift dine at garages + the hotter the better IMO!!

Can you link to that article? Id like to read it and its full context.
ML writes about multiple subjects that aren't always auto related.
On article I thought was interesting was titled managing the perils of a short volume oil change which practically every auto oil change is.
It has in interesting chart that bottom that gives you a percentage of old oil remaining after a double change.
Managing the Perils of Short-volume Oil Changes
There are several good reasons to perform a short-volume oil change, but there are also many dangers as well as a few alternatives that should be considered.

Thanks for sharing, So if I change my oil at 5000 miles, it wouldn’t make sense to waste my money on a 20,000 mile rated filter???

I can’t decide to get the shorts with silver or the oil with titanium …
Fram Ultras cost more like $12.

Not sure where you shop,but I can get them for $8.30 all day long.
I'll snap a pic on a slow day over in Walmart, there's a slight possibility those are the Mobil 1 filter prices but I can check.
Well.... it's only when the underwear gets brown spots on it that won't come out that you'd need to change the underwear.
Maybe OP's oil filter hasn't done that yet?

All day long plus not stepping one foot into that pathetic place.
Here is one that's $11 ($10.97 to be exact) so maybe it varies. https://www.amazon.com/XG9688-Ultra...words=fram+ultra+xg9719&qid=1608847601&sr=8-6
You don't like shopping at Walmart? (I also use Amazon for most things... Walmart for most foods, and things you need right now.)
Well-planned oil purchases, you can come out ahead using Amazon.
Need it now? There's Walmart...
Whose everyday prices are less than sale prices at other stores. Getting into The Land of Needless Mark-Up territory there...
Plus the oil swirls in the opposite direction in Oz ... so the filter's don't have to be high efficiency.
