How often should oil filters be changed?

I just changed the oil for my 1994 Toyota Camry without changing the oil filter.





Some mechanics I've talked to say that it should be changed with the oil every time. Others say that it's OK if it's done every other time. Other folks say that it really doesn't matter.How often should oil filters be changed?
Every oil change... What is the point of putting new oil through a dirty filter??How often should oil filters be changed?
Every time, the reason being this...as its used up and gunk and other debris builds up in it, more and more oil is bypassing it, and once completely filled up with gunk, it is no longer filtering this stuff out, so this stuff is going into your engine, your cylinder walls are being scratched, your oil is basically contaminated, giving your engine a shorter life and worse gas mileage. My suggest would be to change it all all over again and when you redo the oil, put in a can of ';Restore'; (silver can in the oil section) to help fix all the scratches.
Every time for best results. For a 94, depending on the mileage, you may want to use high mileage oil. Usually you should change it every 3K miles, but if you use a synthetic oil, you can go a little longer, between 4K and 5K miles. But I would change the filter every time.
You should cahnge it with every oil change. Particulate matter can build up in your filter. If it builds up enough it will slow/ stop the flow of oil to your vital engine components. Besides it's a cheap investment to make sure your camry runs as long as it should.
on some new cars every other, but very specific models only





wouldn't you be a little upset if you lost an engine because you didn't change the oil filter and it happened to get clogged








just do your oil filter every oil change (it's cheap)
Filters are cheap - compared to an engine overhaul! Just change it every time !
Everytime. Oil filters don;t cost that much.





Change your oil and filter every 5000miles and don;t use Fram filters, they are junk.
You should change your filter every time you change your oil. There are oils and filters on the market that let you go a little longer than 3000 miles but both should be changed at the same time.
The filter is under $5. It is pretty cheap way to give it a good maintenance.








Good Luck...
every time. read your owners manual, it'll say the same.
It varies wit hthe type of driving you do
