Good news for you.
I always change the oil filter when I do the annual oil change.

No one has mentioned LPG, it seems to always to be forgotten in these discussions. I have owned lpg fuelled vehicles for over 30 years and have a smug look on my face when I pay for a fill up at 60 odd PPL (Pence per litre).
