Tell us how it turns out.
I always change my oil filter since I am under the car and have my work clothes on. I also buy the filters in lots of 10 or 20 on closeout so they only cost $3-4. So, why not?
I have a '06 S2000 and I run my oil for 7500 to 8000 miles and my oversize Baldwin B7042 filter for 15k to 16k miles.

It's not hurting anything but your wallet, but it's also buying you absolutely nothing. Realizing that the true cost of your oil change is what you paid plus the opportunity cost of your time, it may be worth looking at what your 3K oci with m1 is getting you relative to the cost. No benefit whatsoever vs real costs in terms of oil and the value of your time would seemly call your current regime into question.

When using full synthetic oil I change my filter midway through the OCI. Granted I do this on my cars with top mounted cartridge fillters that are easy to change. It gives me peace of mind.

In my humble opinion, it appears that the oil reaches a saturation limit early on and it can only hold so much heavy metals in suspension. These are freed by the detergent packages in the fresh oil and as the oil gets older it retains the same amount of wear metals. Therefore it appears that newer oil has more metal (because the detergents flushed them). Again this is my opinion.

I'm thinking about doing the same thing but I don't know if I have a "quality" filter (Bosch) on my car.
Maybe I'll get some guidance soon lol
