I do mine every other change, the current filter will be on until the valve clearances, as it was changed just before the 11k service

You'll save in the long run.

As a related question, does anyone know if you can/would you use the old oil in a chain oiler?

Just got a Tutoro oiler and wondered if spent oil would be suitable as it's 10/40w anyway.

p.s. sorry for the potential post jacking,

Yeah... most people mix it 50/50 with chainsaw oil to make it flow better.

If they were quantity surveyors that would explain it even more.
