[Spridgets] New Engine oil change

[Daniel1312 at aol.com]

I figure that normally I'd expect the first filter to last 500 if not a  1000 
miles.  Anything filtered by the filter stays filtered.  The  filter isn't 
likely to be clogged at 100 miles let alone 500 or a 1000.   Not least to do a 
100 mile oil change is extra precautious for me and the oil  didn't have that 
much in it and neither did the magnetic sump plug.

C'mon,  Daniel....

if you have metal particles in the oil (not unexpected under  the 
circumstances) then
you have metal particles in the  filter.  

Why would you take the chance of circulating new oil through a  contaminated 
filter, to possibly re-distribute some of the metal contained  within through 
your expensive engine....for the relatively EXTREMELY minor  cost of a new 
filter?

Happy New Year, mate.....
