Yes, it is good insurance that you do.

If you change oil without changing the oil filter, you're running new oil past a filter that's already picked up a lot of debris. More miles on that filter could clog it and cause the oil to bypass the filter, and then it could contaminate the engine. Compare a $10 filter to a $4,000 engine replacement.
