Kirbert, you wrote, >>> Filters, on the other hand, are dirt cheap (especially for non-Jags) and I am convinced they are plugged and bypassing LONG before the recommended change interval.<<< Cheap?, yes, plugged?, maybe. I have often thought the opposite, filters actually improve with use, and oil manufactures offer no guarrantee on oil cleanliness, at least they never used to. It is a fact that the smaller the size of the debris floating round in the oil the less wear, so an arguement could be made to change oil more frequently than the filter. What is needed is a filter that indicates when it is approaching the point of bypassing so it could be replaced. My interest is in reducing time spent on maintenace, and have to confess I forgot a change on my XJ6 once and went about 13000 miles, I am paying attention now and keep to around 6000.
