Not trying to be the grammar police but by wellah do you mean Voila - the French word for "There you are".

I took it as, "Well, ah!" , meaning "Well, yes!"
We don't need no stinkin' fruity French stuff here. 'Murica! 🤣

For someone who is sooooo anal about what is going on with his oil, this is incredibly STUPID. Your filter is used to catch contaminants, and will only catch X amount. Contaminants not caught by your filter stay suspended in your oil(clean oil or not) and can cause wear. I’m trying to say this as nicely as I can:

CHANGE YOUR DAMN FILTER!

Say oil is changed every 2500 miles but filter every 5000 miles. What can go wrong, can the 2500 mile filter contaminate the new oil?
Thanks!
Not trying to be mean or rude but if your to scared to put a single socket on a plastic bolt and turn it then just have anyone else change your oil. Also don’t change your oil every 2500 miles. That’s ridiculous

The oil filter housing gets cracked they say. So don't want to mess around with it too much
Everyone who says this is wrong. There is absolutely nothing you can do to prevent the cooler from eventually leaking oil, just change your oil like a normal person.

Do you change underwear every 2 hours? Unless the filter is older than 6 months, it will still work exactly the same as new with only 2.5k miles
Anyone else forego underwear? I did it 20 plus years ago. Just made no sense to wear so many layers.
