my oil wasn't bad to begin with, less than 100 miles on it but i drained it...do i still need a new oil filter when putting oil back in?

 

No, assuming it was changed at the same time as the oil you just drained out.

I suppose if it was drained into a clean container and no contamination got into it, it would be fine. However, new oil really doesn't cost very much.

true, but i need the car running asap and no ride right now to get any oil.

 

Why would you drain the oil out of your car for no reason?

 

was getting ready the take out the motor but other motor swap never showed up

 

as long as it was kept extremely clean and not put into dirty/used containers than like before, it WOULD be fine.

For the 20-35$ though its pretty cheap for peace of mind ...

 

I would say no, even at regular interval changes, I only change my filter every other oil change, so with less than 100 miles on it, I don't see why it shouldn't be fine.
