Recommend interval for cleaning the oil filter?
« on: January 26, 2017, 08:46:14 PM »
Hi all.

As per thread title.
Just did a oil service and cleaned out the oil filter.
So I was just wondering how often the oil filter should be stripped and cleaned? Can't imagine it's every oil change but just wanted to know what most people are doing.

TIA

Jay.

I clean out the filter at every oil change, and I do an oil change every 3 months.
But to be fair that's only because my engine's high mileage (coming up to 70k) and I'm hoping to keep it going for many many miles to come
