changing oil filter

I guess my question is Do you need to replace the oil filter every oil change or do you change it every other oil change. thanks

I say this could depend on how many miles between your oil changes and how obsessive you are. Personally, I change oil about every 2000 miles and filter every other change.

I would recommend changing the oil filter every oil change. You wouldn't want to take a shower and put your dirty socks back on would you? Just my 2 cents.
