The external size of an oil filter is of little importance. It is the
surface of the filtration medium that counts, and of course the size of
the particles that can pass.
Modern engines are made to much tighter tolerances and better materials,
hence they wear very little, thus little debris and contamination.
Service intervals can easily be as much as 10.000mls or way more. Engine
life for normal everyday cars is usually beyond 200.000mls and over
500.000mls is not a rarity. Often the mechanicals last longer than the
electronics.
It is always difficult to decide when to change the oil filter. These
days I usually change the oil every two years with an annual mileage
these days of about 3000mls and change the oil filter every three oil
changes. When changing oil I find it remarkable that the oil is still
very clean rather than black. I now use K&N filters and 10W50Â or20W50
oil for motorbikes as these have more additives than automotive oil due
to various regulations: Bardahl, MPM, Penrite, Castrol Power RS etc.
