re sticky injector

I just filled the filter and ran her for 40 sec. do i need to change out the filter tomorrow ? should I do that seasonally? I generally add 6-8 oz of lucas in every fill.
I would like to thank you for the suggestion cause when it ran for the short time my shop wasn't full of smoke. coincidence or not but I got a good feeling

What doesn't happen to the filter within 30k that does happen within 60k? Does the media begin to deteriorate and allow particles to pass through or something?

I agree that your filter is fine for a good long while, the ATF won't hurt it.
