How do you figure that an air filter has ANY effect on your oil change interval?

Sorry to disappoint norm, haven't had the time to give advice lately. Had my own share of problems to deal with. Emissions are a real biatch with all the crap I have on my vehicle, but on the positive side I did learn of a way to beat the OBDII test for some vehicles today!!
