You should change your oil filter EVERY time you change your oil.
Your old filter contains old oil, so change it when you put in new oil, makes sense does it not.

Every time you change your oil you should change your filter also. Your filter has a quart of oil in it at all times because it is on the bottom of your engine. If you don't change the filter you are adding the dirty oil in it to the clean oil you just put in.

When ever you change the oil,change the filter....your engine will last longer. Ask yourself this...spend a couple bucks now on a oil filter or end up replaceing the engine or getting another car sooner than you wanted to.

EVERY TIME!
The filter is there to trap the big particles, and when your oil gets dirty your filter is full of crap as well. A filter is only a fraction of the overall cost of an oil change, so just do it!

Each time you change the oil, change the filter too.

Every time! Why would you want to run clean oil through a dirty oil filter? Cmon, the filter is about $4, splurge a little.

ok lets think about that one when dirt gets in your oil the filter traps it and cleans the oil when the filter gets full the oil bypasses the filter thats when you need to chainge the filter
high milage oil like synthetics wich can go up to 20000 miles will still need filtering as the filter plugs up with carbon
(a normal prosses of combustion) it needs to be chainged so if you are trying to save money the question should actually be how many times do i chainge the filter between oil chainges
the answer to that one is every 3000 miles chainge the filter
regular oil that hasnt been run hot can go 6000 miles and synthetics can go up to 20000 miles
