This might be overkill but after 2000 hours on the engine, oil consumption is nill, and miles per gallon and top speed are unchanged.
Not overkill, if no filter, then the frequent oil changes will keep the oil clean and working properly maintaining the engine. Reference the car oil change thread where frequent filter changes keeps the oil clean and maintaining the engine properly.

great pointers in this thread, love this bbs
