Should you only change your oil filter every other oil change?

My father in law is under the impression that you only need to change your oil filter in your car every other time you change the oil. He also changes the oil every 5-6,000 miles. This seems to go against everything I have been told about car maintenance but he has an Infinity that has over 130,000 miles on it. Is he right?Should you only change your oil filter every other oil change?
It depends on your oil filter. Some oil filters you can change every other oil change if they the good ones, check with the shop, autozone, or dealer or someone who knows. Some filters you may need to change every oil change; im talking about the cheap 5 bucks or less ones. I usually change mine every time i change my oil because i buy cheap, but still good FRAM filters.



I recommend changing filters every oil change UNLESS you have a legit, i mean legit filter.Should you only change your oil filter every other oil change?
It's cheap. Change it every time. The expression "You can pay me now, or pay me latter" was invented because of your F/I/L. The filter holds about 1/2 litre of old dirty oil, and all of the removed contaminants from your eng. Why would you leave it in place, and put in fresh oil. I wonder if he removes fuel filters, shakes them out, and re installs them.Should you only change your oil filter every other oil change?
No you change oil filter everyone 2500or3000miles. Synthetic oil you can run for 6000or7000 miles
