It's understandable that not every tidbit of car maintenance won't always be remembered, but the truth of the matter is that it's always important to think about what can and can't be forgotten in regards to a simple task. Said task includes remembering that you should change your filter, as some believe that because it was replaced before, then they don't need to do it again.
An oil filter helps with getting rid of any dirt, grime, and sludge that manifests on an engine, and it should be worth mentioning that it starts to make a vehicle perform worse if more debris is getting removed overtime. In reality, an oil filter is made specifically for one use only, so it's important that it gets changed every time an oil change happens in order to prevent any further damage.
