There is no way to check the filter by looking at it. Just go by the filter minder. Filter minders have been used by off road & heavy equipment for years very successfully. Filter minders measure vacuum resistance.

You can change your filter element sooner, but you are just hurting your pocket book as the filter is about $55 each.

Check out these links for a little more info.
