It would be cool to be able to leave the filter and for two changes because I will go at least 15,000 miles a year but I am not sure I trust that filter would be good
It seems that as long as you change the oil and don't let it get old and sludgy your car should last a long time from what I've read

I have used Supertech Full Synthetic 5W-30 in my Yaris. It is good quality oil and will do 7500 miles no problem. The Fram Ultra is probably the best quality filter out there and can definitely be used for 2 oil changes. For the record I do not use the Ultra but only because I'm a cheap bastard who bought a bunch of different high quality filters at closeout prices at Walmart.

If you don't know about BITOG take a look. There is more information about oil there than you would ever need to know.
