well it's best to change the filter when you change the oil as now you have at least a half qt. of old oil mixing in with your new oil.Does it make any difference to change the oil filter from old to new the day AFTER the oil change?
You don't want to drive it with an old filter. It's not going to hurt the car, but the oil filter stores a small amount of oil (depends on filter size, usually 1/2 quart or so) inside, and when you change the oil, you still have that old bad oil in the filter.





So when you start the car right after an oil change with the old filter in, you're reintroducing the bad oil into the system.





Don't fret though, you still have plenty of good oil in there, but next time try to change both at the same time.
Yes it does. Your oil filter traps most of the particles that end up in your oil, your everyday dust, dirt, even metal shavings. All of these can be put back into your fresh new oil without replacing your filter.





Should be no long term damage, but next time, spend the $5- $15 and buy a new filter
