Ignoring oil filter replacement may restrict oil flow. Is this leading to overheating and engine stress during long drives?

Yes — ignoring the oil filter can cause serious damage:

A clogged oil filter restricts lubrication flow, leading to:

Increased engine friction

Overheating

Accelerated wear of bearings and valves

In Pakistan’s hot weather, this risk is even higher on long drives o r during traffic jams.

➡️ Always replace the oil filter with every oil change.
