When to change oil filter?

I am about to change my car's oil and was wondering how often should i change the oil filter.

I know for oil its every 3k miles. But what about the filter?



I have a dodge caravan 1994.When to change oil filter?depending on how you drive(long or short trips)and how heavy etc will change the frequency recommended by the manufacturer,but a good rule is the 3000miles/5000km for the oil and most people say to change the filter every second time but for the sake of about $5-$10 I would replace it every time I changed the oil.don't forget to use a quality oil as cheaper oils don't offer the same protection qualitiesWhen to change oil filter?every oil change. because the filter filters out deposits and if u put clean oil back in with a dirty filter then the filter contaminates the clean oil almost defeatin the purpose good luck and don't forget to smere a little oil around the filter seal to help it seal better.When to change oil filter?every oil change u change the oil and filter...and u check the air filter every other oil change.....and u change the trans fluid every 50k miles or so....and u grease the fittings once a year......





buy a repair manual...preferably a haynes and follow the maintenance scheduleWhen to change oil filter?yes why not change it with the oil at the same time.

reason being is that there is a lot of oil left in the oilfilter and all this is very black and has deposits left in it.
