If that were true, the manual wouldnt go so far as suggest Not changing it. That filter is nowhere near its capacity to filter, if it was, then we'd have to ask ourselves what is in it. What exactly IS in that filter? Metal shavings as the engine wears. A new filter has nothing stuck in it, it will pass a few tiny things. The crud starts by going to the higher flow areas & clogging them up, then, the filter gets a bit better, in terms of holding tiny things back.So, IF the filter was loaded at the end of the 3,000 mile trip, then how many oil changes would an engine even survive? Wouldnt it be worn out after just a few "Oil filters loaded with metal shavings"?
I've "autopsied" several oil filters & there isnt all that much metal in there.There are the occasional pieces that cause a heart flutter just looking at them, but, the amount of crud caught in one of these tiny little oil filters after 3,000 miles is negligible & would have little impact on the filters ability to flow & filter efficiently.

It would be like taking a shower and putting on the dirty Drawers you had on before.
