I would ignore that comment other than to point out we
sometimes get to "concerned". Aircraft do have less need for filtration
than autos as they spend more of their time in "clean air". However, I
would NEVER consider not changing the oil and neither would George. He
changed to a "straight" weight oil from multi viscosity for better engine
protection.

George said, Keep in mind that there
is about 400 million hours of aircraft piston engine experience in engines
for which there was no oil filter and they never changed the oil - - they just
added oil as needed. Engines had excellent TBO’s. In many
cases, over 3000 hours.
Well that's
cool.
Does that include
current vintage turbo chargers and valve trains?
