I am a bit confused.

What do you hope to accomplish by changing your oil more often?

If you're simply looking at the oil filter, then when you do find something it will be generally too late to do much about it - the engine is on its last breathe by the time that you find serious debris in the oil filter.

Have you considered performing an oil analysis using short test intervals? All you need is a small sample to send in to the lab; no need to change the oil every time. And the data might give you some warning that something is going south inside the engine before there is debris in the oil filter.
