Oil filter change questions.
I was browsing around, looking for information and I've seen many conflicting reports.
I change my oil every 5k miles or so. But I've seen that people who do this normally change their filter every OTHER change (ie 10k miles).
is it really important to change the filter every 5k oil change, or is that just overkill?
also...where is a brick and mortar place to buy amsoil?

Audi has an OEM 30k KM filter.. the dealerships don't even change it every time under scheduled serv
I got the 30K KM filter at my 10K tune up. They won't change the filter at 20K I'm pretty sure, unless I request it, and possibly have to pay for it.

because it's farking impossible to get to my filter.
there is a huge support column from the bottom, and there is almost no room to take it off from the top (even with the coolant tank moved). plus I don't have a single oil filter wrench that will fit it.
there is a oil changing place I take it to with my own oil and filter, and they to a bang-up job (in under 20 minutes) for 16 bucks. They even use the right size crush washer too
