Is it OK to use the same oil filter twice?
Yes, it’s perfectly safe to use either type of filter with either type of oil. However, if you practice extended drain intervals using synthetic oil, a conventional oil filter may not offer the required service life, meaning you’ll have to change it in the middle of the oil drain interval, which is inconvenient.
What will happen if you double gasket an oil filter?
If a new filter is installed on top of an old seal, a “double gasket” situation occurs and oil security is 100% compromised. The oil will either completely blow out as soon as the engine starts (huge mess!) or even worse, will NOT blow out until the car gets down the road a few miles.
Do I have to change the filter with every oil change?
Every Oil Change In general, most newer vehicles are designed to run on 6,000 or 7,500-mile cycles for oil changes (the old 3,000-mile cycle is a myth in terms of newer vehicles). Most mechanics agree that it’s just a smart idea to have the filter swapped out every time you take your car in for an oil change.
