I have a track only bike and I change oil in it after every 2-3 track days (not weekends). Do I need to replace oil filter every oil change or I can do it every other change?

change filter - hell its better to change the filter and leave the old oil atleast it can go through a clean filter - you will never break the oil down in that short of time - just dirty it up... having clean oil pass throuigh dirty filter - not good. change both for safe side - my cars i ussally do a filter every 7K miles and change oild 15K.

considering i pay less than $20 for a gallon of oil for my racebike (Shell Rotella full synth), i change my filter out every oil change. Total cost oil/filter, less than $30.

That being said, Grant is right. Youre better off changing the filter every other track weekend, then change the oil on the second filter change.

Wal-Mart has it pretty cheap.

I get mine from Tractor supply in 5 gallon buckets - goes on sale atleast once a month - but pretty sure walmart and any autoplace has it.

Don't buy the gallon jug from tractor supply. In Athens they wanted 26 for it.
