thanks guys for all of your replies, great help.
i just changed my oil, it was after just 2,000 miles,since i dont use it much. but since it had been over 1 year that i had last changed the oil, i felt it was time to change it. the mechanic told me that the colour of the "old" oil that he emptied was almost exactly the same colour like the new oil he was putting in, still very clean. i also always change oil filter and the pan of the oil filter was aslo very clean. i had swapped the original oil drain plug, for a magnetic one, and even that had absolutely no fragments on it.
so, i think ill just take my chances and change the bearing when the clutch goes.

someone told me that if i change the clutch its best to change the flywheel since it would have "worked" as much as the clutch.
what do you guys think?
