how bad is it if someone changes there oil, but leaves the old oil filter on for a period of time?

Very bad....

It's like taking a shower but using the same underwear. It's best that you change your filter.

lol yeah that pretty much sums it up.

the reason this is bad is because the oil filter itself is full of oil..so if you change the oil all that clean oil is going to mix with that really dirty oil sitting in the filer.

Defeats the purpose of changing the oil

Well its not going to destroy your car. It is said that you can change your filter every other oil change. But I think most everyone, including myself, change the filter every time.

 

[Shadowhunter]

You might as well not change the oil at all.
