Oil change without changing filter

[RedRide]

I believe teddy was refering to changing the oil shortly after the dealer did so, I believe the filter would be relitively new and clean.

If so, I don't see a problem leaving the filter in as most top brands of synthetic state that they are completely compatable with dyno oil. In fact, I have be using a blend of syn and dino oil for years and change it about every 3k.

On the other hand, oil filters are realtively cheap and very easy to change on the Yaris.

The one time I mixed synthetic and dino oil, I dropped a rod in the engine. Although it was a chrysler engine, that had a ticking rod anyway.

Yeah, a bad rod bearing will do it every time .

Bingo.

If I decide to change it in the next few days I'll probably just change the filter, though I think I'll leave it til the next oil change.

ok now i think that i am gonna flame for a minute... you ask a question, then you filter your way through the responses until you find the one response that you wanted to hear... if you are looking for a specific response, then don't bother asking where there are people who know what they are doing... i know that i am just being a forum troll right now, and i don't really care...


my point is, when you ask a question like the one you asked, you should take the majority opinion especially when said opinion is backed up by both knowledge of the auto field and previous experience...
