Highly recommended, certainly can't hurt anything. Having driven hundreds of thousands of miles changing oil and oil filters at 3,000 mile intervals I've yet to have any engine failure. If you are kind and diligent to your car's engine, it will be kind to you and give you years of reliable service.
Although the above is mostly true the 3,000 mile oil change is a thing of the past and is no longer required on modern vehicles with today's oils and filters. It is a total waste of money and oil. I have been driving hundreds of thousands of miles changing my oil/filter every 5,000 miles with not one internal engine problem and my vehicles burn no oil at all. Most auto manufactures today recommend you change your oil at 5,000, 7,500, or even 10,000 miles. So, follow the manufactures recommendation on when to change the oil/filter. There are some newer vehicles where the 3,000 mile oil change may still be required but not many. But definitely change the filter every single time you change the oil.
