You are absolutely correct. Even if the oil is good for 25K, which would be the max for a high quality passenger car oil, the filter will be past it’s service life.
This old man likes to sample his oil from any new motor at around 1K to get a baseline and to see what is going on inside the motor. Wear metals are typically high at first then should taper off with each subsequent change and sample. Best leave the mechanics to us old men dear.
after working at Donaldson and closely with lubtech over the last 4 years I've determined 3000 mile changes are a thing of the past and "break-in" oil isn't a thing.
Ok Boomer
That’s quite the analogy. I really don’t care if you never change your oil. A member asked for advice and I gave him my opinion based on what I have learned from taking care of my vehicles and being a synthetic oil dealer for many, many years. Enjoy your steak.
Yes. I guess I'll stop driving and let the men folk sit up front. Thanks ever so much for putting me back into a woman's place. I had forgotten this was 1919.
As a cattle rancher, I would agree with you, but then wonder why you think that is the way to determine the possible quality of a carcass.
Its amazing how different us Euros handle the oil change interval, compared to you.
New vehicles here get 40-50K Km ( 25-30K Miles) with the first oil. And do all are engines fall apart? Def. not.
A lot has changed in the oil und engine Industrie, the manufacturing tolerances are like zero, so absolutely no need for a early oil change.
Here you have to wait 4-6 weeks to get an appointment for an oil change - you folks have drive-through places. Funny world - with cool cars
You’re a cattle rancher that doesn’t change her own oil? I guess times have changed. Like back in the day when old men were valued for their experience and knowledge. Now they just tell tall tales.Yes. I guess I'll stop driving and let the men folk sit up front. Thanks ever so much for putting me back into a woman's place. I had forgotten this was 1919.

Yep, sure do, but if I were you I would stay away from that stuff.
Your sentence should say "who doesn't." Use the word who when referring to a person. "That" is reserved for objects. Unless that is what you intended, which is entirely possible based on your tone.
I also used the word her, which would refer to a person, but thanks for the English lesson anyway. How’s my punctuation?
You are welcome. I gave you one free correction. I charge for editing.
