Reuseable oil filter
Does anyone have any experiance with the stainless steel reusable oil filter
made by Scotts? I was reading about it, it seemes to be pretty cool. They say it filters down to 35 microns. And flows better than a paper element.
Thank you

no, really. I think they came in second to the Pure One in a test awhile back. while we're on the subject...the best cross-reference to a car filter I've heard of was the filter to fit a twin-turbo RX-7. Pure One PL14612 or supertech ST 6607. any thoughts?

I've been running the 6607 for about 5 years now on all my hondas (didn't fit my old bandit1200S).

Those Scotts filters are great for scotts, bad for you. They are impossible to clean completely. I have replaced several of them in the last year due to the fact that a Hiflo costs $5 and the oem is $10, and it would take me an hour to really clean the scotts.

I was looking @ the scotts filter on line http://www.scottsonline.com/
the filter is around $110.00. I don't know if it's worth it. It's a lot of money
for an oil filter.

That's the same cost as 22 or more aftermarket replaceable filters. Even at 3,000 per change, you'd have to travel 66,000 miles to break even. Plus, you have to service it. Seems not worth it to me.

YES, YOU are the ONLY one!
Tell me you're kidding. Where's the "laughing-yer-***-off" smilie in your post?
Articles I've read say MC oil gets serious viscosity breakdown due to molecular shearing in the transmission.
