Personally, I'm confortable pulling my paper filter every 10k mi. and blowing it out, from the reverse side, with compressed air. I replace every 20k mi.

Yep... I'd say my car falls under the 'severe' category. So, for $20, might as well. That and it was on the original filter when I picked it up last summer, so I feel bad. Only had 12k miles, but yeah... it was pretty shot.
