An Email from Blackstone I asked.

I have a question. Would changing my filter at maybe 3,000 miles help eliminate the metals? My filter is on top of my engine and it has a check valve so I dont lose oil when changing it.

Matt: Thanks for the e-mail. Changing the oil filter early would lower your wear metals, though since most of this is due to normal break-in, you should see a nice drop in wear next time, even without an oil filter change.

Let me know if you have any more questions.
