There was a bit of oil coming out when I started to unscrew the filter. When I go to syn I plan to let the oil run for 10K but continue to change the filter at 5K. Has anyone tried that? I assume you can change the filter withour draining the oil first and not lose any significant amount of oil but would like some confirmation.
I assume this may havbe been discussed in a previous post but when I tried a search it came up with a butt load of unrelated posts. Anyway, I tried.

WHY WHY WHY ????
First I don't understand why you would want to go 10k with out an oil change
Second why change the filter, it will out last the oil
During combustion there is a lot of acidic build up in the oil, not to mention sulfer, carbon, so on and so forth. Needless to say there is some nasty stuff floating around in there. Changing your oil 3000 miles is your best defense, and rather cheap insurance. just my 2 cents
