I did the same on a Renault that used oil.

But you probably keep the ground metal in there.

There is **** all ground metal in a well designed
engine and the filter looks after that fine.

But we're both talking about old cars here.

Sure, but that Golf always was a well designed car.

Oh I dunno, the electric windows fail easily.

So do you change the filters often?

Nope, but the oil pressure light will tell
me when enough oil isnt getting thru it.

I'd certainly change it if that happened.

You have a point. I think most cars are serviced when they don't really need to be. I did have a couple of cars I never serviced, and I don't recall any more problems with them than the ones I did.
