Your payments do not change throughout the course of the loan. But the amount going towards principal and interest do change. The lower your loan balance the more that goes towards principal and the less that goes towards interest.

He'll pay less interest over the next 3 - 5 years if he has reduced the balance more than what his amortization originally called for.

I would just be concerned about putting the money into paying down the mortgage just because something else might come up.
