I have a 4Runner with 224k miles. I change the oil every 5k and use full synthetic oil. I use Fram 10k oil filters. I’m curious if I can skip changing the filter everyother oil change. I know they are cheap, I’m just curious.

I would argue it’s more important to change the filter than the oil. Dirty oil can always get filtered by a new/clean filter. Once the filter gets dirty enough and the flow is impeded enough, a bypass opens and the oil doesn’t get filtered at all.
