I am not a believer that we should be changing the oil every year when we are boating 6 months and storing 6 months and putting on between 50 and a 100 hours. I do it but reluctantly.
This new filter is rated for 1,000 hours and removes 72% of particles less than 10 micron. The LF9009 is nothing less then 30 micron I believe.
I could see leaving the new filter in there for two years and maybe just changing the oil once a year..... albeit reluctantly.
Filters aside, I think one of the reasons we (or at least I) change the oil each season is to get out any moisture that accumulates in the system from condensation over that time. While the oil probably doesn’t break down with those low hours, moisture does gather. For me, it’s not just about engine hours.
