So if I understand correctly, you're driving with a 15 year old oil filter. Maybe it's still OK, but that's not a practice I would condone. Stop driving it and change the oil filter. And, if it's truly been sitting that long, I would just change all the oil again... along with the brake fluid, transmission fluid, coolant, power steering fluid, and suspension fluid.
