Default Stupid oil change question

So on my last oil change, almost 2500 miles ago, i switched all my fluids to AMSOIL. Happy to say my car has been performing amazing compared to the ENEOS i was running before. I also opted in for the high efficiency amsoil oil filter which is apparently rated for 15k to 25k miles. When you guys are skipping an oil filter change.. do you still remove it and drain it? or do you leave it on the whole time you are doing an oil change the next time when you are not replacing it?


I appreciate your answers

Next time you do your next oil change, drain the oil filter and put it back on so the new oil could go through. Also it will drain out the old oil out of the filter hole.

If you use the Signature Series Oil (along with the high efficiency amsoil oil filter), I was under the impression that it too is also good for up to 15,000 miles (for severe conditions) and 25,000 miles(for normal conditions).
