If it is the OEM style filter it is very easy. Use a razor knife to cut the ends off and unroll the filter paper. Anything other than oil should not be there. You may see some specks and if so run a magnet over them to see if ferrous or non ferrous.
A small amount of non magnetic material is normal, after all that is why there is a filter. Anything ferrous could be an issue so further analysis would be needed.
The spin on sealed unit filters are a bit more problematic but someone on here posted a link to a filter cutter so they are around.
Good luck with your filter check. Remember, change your oil every 3 - 5K miles.
