I do it every 10-15k. I have a quick question for the original poster--are you sure that the rust is actual on the filter or is it the clamp that holds the filter? The clamps rust like all hell. Perhaps some of the rust could have ran off on parts of the filter, but I doubt that.



If it is the clamps and you are concerned, don't be. Mine has a plastic tie (buy from Home Depot or any hardware store) since maybe about 5 years ago (I learned that trick from the dealer).
