How did you use the same filter for a couple of years without having the dirty filter choke your engine? Did you wash the element? These filters aren't made to be used for a long time, they need to be replaced at least at every annual. They're only a few bucks. Also, they can't be washed because it will remove the sticky stuff that makes them work. That would probably make them deteriorate early, too.
