I dunno maybe this is a job for Sarge. He's always got his ear to the ground on things dealing with oil.

Hopefully the link aboove gets you there and yes to your link on the permanent/reuseable/washable filter

Never used one. Some thing about reuseing and old filter bothers me I guess. I dunno.

I don't think I'd like using that..

Not for me, thanx.

**Zboner** · 06-24-2009, 04:38 PM

there is no such thing as a life time filter.

**cammed goat** · 06-24-2009, 04:56 PM

Mewonders how many claims they have against them regarding engine failure?

**Sarge** · 06-24-2009, 05:54 PM

Here is the problem. Southwest Research Institute did some testing on these "lifetime filters"...they could never get but 10% of the sub 30 micron "crap" out of them. So they looked clean etc. but in reality were literally filthy after cleaning.

That answers that.

Thanks Sarge - I assumed it was like re-using toilet paper
