obviously not so i'll tell you. an oil filter has a paper element that catches particles that would potentially harm your engine over time. when the filter gets old and clogged up the popper valve opens due to the increased oil pressure. when this happens you get unfiltered oil circulating inside your engine e.g. no filtering of the oil.

now does that sound like cost saving?
Lol. What's the recommend service life, 8k miles if memory serves.
