Switch to synthetic AND still change my oil every 3500 miles...Crazy?
Wow, I stalking, name calling? You are acting like a Kid. That is all I said. I backed everyone of my claims up. You have yet too.
Until you realize that the Oil filter does not play a major role in oil breakdown you are lost. I never said it didn't completely. I said it only has a minor role in it.
I have done much more research than you and that is obvious. So you are saying basically everyone else here who corrected you and the other site is wrong right?
Ahh thats it. You are the man! Being around race cars and being technical about how oil works is two different things. LOL. I have also been around race cars also for many years. And I still race.

As a matter of fact, I had to give you your own ammo..!!!
For all those who have been reading the last 5 or 6 pages of discussion I found another website from BlackStone Labs that will describe the importance of filtration and engine life and there is good information there about how long ONE oil fill can last with proper filtration, in this case By-pass filtration.

Ahh now we are talking about bypass filters eh? Sure they add another type of filter in the place as well (two) that work with the acids, etc. A normal oil filter will not take care of the stuff I said above. Wow you just never give up when your wrong don't you? lol.

When I'm wrong?
I thought that you would have spent the last few hours reading your previous posts and some of the links that were posted..
I guess I am going to have to cut n paste every webpage so you dont have to try to figure out how to follow the links..
Do they have schools in Tx?
SO now you are saying that filtration DOES matter.. or am i mistaken again??

THats the good things about forums.. the replies,, this is fun.. did u read the links yet.. or are u afraid?
im still working on the cut and pasting so u dont have to actually click on the links, so check back every once in a while..
Im sorry that it hurts you to be wrong, but you get use to it after w while, dont you?
The condition being 30% worn. Point being everyone is really changing their dino and synthetic much earlier than necessary. Especially since only a choice few has even mentioned getting the oil analyzed.
You see gary, as you said it would depend on the condition of the tires. But that would mean you knew the condition of the oil, which you do not. But now you see how the tire thing relates so well right?

You have to excuse me Russ. But you did slightly contradict yourself.

If you never changed the filter, it would clog up and go into bypass mode. In bypass, it sacrafices filtration in order to maintain oil pressure. ie.. lesser of the two evils. Point being, if you never changed the filter, the oil would be contaminated by particles larger than the oil can keep suspended and away from metal to metal contact long before the oil's additive package gets broken down by various engine functions. Especially in the context of our (damn glad I can say that now hehe) relatively low miler VQ35 engines. A newish engine runs very clean.
So IMHO, the filter is probably the most important factor in the oil's life. It's one of the few things a person has control of also. Other than actually changing the oil.
Filter has nothing to do with how long your oil lasts.
The oil filter only helps clean particles out of the oil but doesn't help the life of the oil. (Well to a certain point it does but not enough to make a issue out of it).

I havent done a search yet but does anyone know where in SoCal or preferably Vegas that does oil analysis? and what do they charge?

I've used blackstone labs. You email them and they send you sample sets for free. Then you send them a sample + a $20 or so check and they analyze it. They even email you the results if you request it. Nice people and good to work with
