I hope your kidding! Yes you should've already changed the filter. It's such a cheap part, I do it with every oil change.

Good dear lord!, Change the filter EVERYTIME you change the oil, changing oil and not putting in a new filter is pointless. We should ahve a thread on the proper way to service a quad!

dude, You need to change the filter everytime you change the oil. You can get a reusable filter, but it still has to be cleaned everytime you change the oil. it is probably clogged up not letting oil flow through it after that long.

if your plugged up oil filter is restricting your rpms IT"S TO LATE!! save the oil filter for after you rebuild...;)

That is unreal. I am very particular about service. Mine gets the oil changed often and the filter is changed everytime. I check everything out about once per month just to make sure it is in tip top shape. Brakes are another thing that are overlooked.
