Diesel engines (assume that's a diesel) are dirty and oil (back in those days) was pretty bad/crude.
No, it is a gas engine. But this is for the air cleaner, not the engine. Engine oil is changed every 120 hrs.

I see now... Just watched the video... It sure sounds like a diesel but in any case, it looks like a fun project. (Note, I see a can or two of WD40 - Good stuff but you may need a few more cans of that stuff.No, it is a gas engine. But this is for the air cleaner, not the engine.

IT WAS ESTABLISHED A WHILE AGO THE OP WAS MISTAKEN.
Never made sense to begin with. How exactly would you change the oil filter without changing the oil since removing the filter drains a lot of the oil for most cars...put the old dirty oil back in again?
According to the car care nut on the internet if you want to drive your car 250,000+ miles change the oil every 5000 miles. He claims that the 10K oil change is a marketing decision. The marketing team asked the engineers how many oils changes would it take to offer a 100K engine warranty that they would rarely have to pay out on. The answer was 10 changes, one every 10K miles. Less than that and the chances of paying for warranty repair work starts to go up fast. I have no idea if this is true. But, it’s a great story.
I change oil in my hybrid every 5k miles because I do mostly cold start, stop-n-go driving on the average day. Mixed in every 3 to 4 months are road trips where the car does 300+ miles in a day. The 0W-16 oil used by the car is only a little thicker than water. That’s a psychological factor for me.
One other thing he also warns against using the more common and somewhat cheaper 0W-20 oil unless it’s an emergency. He claims that the oil passageways are designed for the thinner 0W-16 oil and the thicker oil will not provide the same level of lubrication safety. Again, I have no idea if this is true, but it sounds like it might be.
Oh, all oil changes include a filter change. I remember having a VW that’s did not have an oil filter, just a screen to remove big stuff in the oil. I also remember a car that recommended changing the filter every other oil change. That never made a lot of sense to me.

At one time I always changed my oil and filter every 5k miles. Now, I still change the oil at 5k but I only change the filter at 10k intervals.
As you like...That's not for me.And I shower every day, but put on the same underwear after the shower.
In my college physics class, my professor was a car guy. He lamented the fact that you could have synthetic oil last a really long time (perhaps 50K miles) IF the manufacturer would install a high efficiency oil filter.
As you like... Not for me.

Oil bath air cleaners have been largely replaced by dry paper filters in most modern tractors, as the oil makes servicing both messy and inconvenient due to the frequency of cleaning required. Oil bath filters are, however, very efficient at capturing dirt and can sequest a large amount of dirt relative to their size, without loss of efficiency. They are probably more efficient at providing clean air to your engine than modern paper filters.
Filling tank once or twice a year. I guess my situation is perfect for an EV. One full charge will last months.
Since we are talking tractor fluids, here is 45 seconds of draining the transmission fluid. It took over an hour for it to drain. I'm guessing it is 74 years old but I don't know.
Haven't changed my oil since retiring in 2020. Not driving much. Just mainly groceries,small errands,and annual CPA visit,doctor/ophthalmologist, and dentist every six months.

Probably have oil changed next month. I guess my situation is perfect for an EV. One full charge will last months.

The EV batteries seem to deteriorate with age even if the miles are low. I think you should just keep the ICE car, but that's just me
I would say your situation is perfect for calling an Uber unless you like paying $6,500 for each tank of gas. You could probably have a limo pull up to the house to take you to the grocery store each time. Would still be cheaper than buying a new EV.
I am 79 and am driving my final car (2019 Camry). Toyota recommends annual synthetic oil change
Well, sure, but ... not much. And, comparing "complete replacement" of EV batteries vs "complete replacement" of ICE is difficult, and perhaps even irrelevant. Lots of discussion, but not a lot of data, but apparently this is no more of a big deal on EVs as it was on the Prius when the doomsday crowd opined on the battery life.

Unlike mileage, time typically takes the worst toll on batteries.
I have flown free for life over 30 years. Flying first class to Brazil,BVIs,Japan,and Switzerland so far this year only cost around $200 in taxes and fees. Traveling to 65 countries since the 80s I must have saved several hundred thousand in tickets.
