Not me. To quote Ben Franklin, "A once of prevention is worth a pound of cure". As someone earlier said whats an additional $7 for a filter to ensure clean oil in the engine, especially the first oil change. With engine tolerances so close and lubricating oil viscosities so thin, it's worth all the precaution you can get in efficient engine operation.Anyone think skipping a $10 filter on a $40k car is wise.........?
