I have no evdience either way.

But my opinion is that as a Filter gets used and gathers particles it actually filters better than when it is new; also gets more restricted as it is used.

So I do not see the reasoning in changing the Filter 1/2 way before you do an Oil Change.

The reason I say that is because it is not normal even if you drive 6k miles for an Oil Filter to get restricted to the point where it has a negative effect on the Oil Pressure or flow.
