Hopefully nothing will happen. You can get away with it here and there. The filter traps any foreign matter that might be in the engine. Chances are that the filter is still good, but change it the next time. The cost is not that much.

What happens if you change the oil and not the filter?

As the filter does it's work it becomes more and more clogged with filtered out particles. Eventually it will cease to work as a filter and the oil will just bypass the filter completely. Eventually you will no longer be filtering the oil. Replace the filter at every oil change.


What happens if oil filter was not changed on a 1994 ford thunder-bird during an oil change?

Nothing terrible will happen but the old oil in the filter will mix with the new. I would recommend you change the oil and oil filter again. This will insure that you will have clean oil throughout the motor.

The bypass valve will open and the dirty oil will bypass the filter and go throughout the engine. This will never happen if you change your oil every 5,000 miles and also change the filter.
