So should I wait longer to swap it out? My 2017 is five years old and has 16,800 miles on it.
Makes me miss the good old days of the round air cleaner housing on the top of the engine. One wing nut and - Bam! - new filter in less than a minute.
HA! My thoughts exactly!!
It's obvious that those who design modern cars never want to be the ones who have to work on them.
True. But I do give them credit for their creativity in finding underhood (or underdash) space to cram in all the necessary equipment that today's vehicles require.

It's at 37,500 miles or every 4 years. I'll either go with an AC Delco or FRAM.
Below are the notes from the owners manual:
(3) Or every four years, whichever
comes first. If driving in dusty
conditions, inspect the filter at each
oil change or more often as needed.

I continue to be amazed by Corvette owners who quibble over price on oil, oil filters, air filters to save a few dollars on a $60,000 vehicles. OEM replacements are usually less than a tank of gas.

A Corvette's yearly maintenance costs are very similar to other vehicles I have despite having an MSRP that is 2X. Filling the dry sump with 9 quarts of 0W-40 is maybe $40 more. Now what is expensive is tires

Yep. Thanks to him bringing us Covid, my local McDonald's went from paying $9.13 in 2019 before Covid was heard of to $17 today. Maybe we should not have made him Dictator for Life since that means he has unchecked power and can eliminate Congress and pack the SCOTUS with his henchmen.
