I work with a lot of people like you guys.

Always making things more complicated than they need to be.
What's complicated about using data to inform your decisions? And I even provided a simple approach - change your oil and filter every 5000m (8000km) at a minimum. I can't think of a way to make it more simple.

Change the filter every time. You’re risking running unfiltered oil through your engine, when the filter becomes plugged it will bypass the filter. At what point will that happen? I don’t want to find out.

Yes, do the filter. First few changes or so will be washing out millings and other shavings. Besides filters are kinda cheap if you order online. Maybe just under 5 bucks. Dont skimp, not worth it.

FWIW I'm just under 25K and just had my 9th oil change.
