Oil Change/ No Filter Change I was changing my oil the other day and after draining it, I realized i has no filter to replace the old one with, so I went ahead and left it on. Can I just put off the filter change til the next oil change, or should I go ahead and change the filter and top off the oil?? Problem is, Im not sure when the filter was last changed, there is a date of 6-30 written on it, so I'm guessing I should go ahead and pull it off soon, but can I avoid changing the oil as well?

Re: Oil Change/ No Filter Change only problem with not doing the filter when you did the oil is now you have the 3/4 qt.(est.) of oil that resides in the filter(when motor is off) still in there! so you kinda missed part of the oil change!
oil filter 6 bucks, why would you not spend 6 buck to protect you 20 thousand dollar investment?
