Lifetime Oil Filter

[DXTAC]

Has anyone here ever tried one of THESE? I have a steel mesh filter in my tranny but I have never heard of this.

Thanks,

I didn't see a price, but IMHO a throw-away, paper-pleated oil filter works best for my CUCVs.

Too much trouble to wash that type of filter. You need a parts cleaner and compressed air (I have both in my shop) to get that nice and clean (but can be cleaned/dried by other methods too)...

I'll bet for what that re-useable filter cost, you could buy plenty of "regular" oil filters...

Nope.. and by the looks of it washing it out will make a huge mess. I did not see a filter micron rating anyplace! I will stick with my Wix filters.

my father in law is a fleet mechanic and has seen all kinds of gimmicks over the years. and with his 35 years experience he still says a regular maintenance schedule, combined with good oil and a name brand filter will do all you need it to do.

If they want to sell it, I want to see a 10,000 mile oil sample tested after filtration to see how clean it still is. Only then would I buy it.

I had a similar product in a air cooled atv a few years back, the filter came out as clean as it went in. . . so I instaled it in my trash can

reminds me of a certain washable/oiled air filter

The video said you can stick it in your dishwasher to clean it :roll....

The extent of the lifetime warranty is replacing the filter if you pay shipping cost . No coverage if it fails and toasts your motor . I'll stick with Baldwins .

We use Scotts stainless steel mesh oil filters in our dirtbikes. As frequently as we change the oil in those things, the savings really add up. There's a lot of info about them available online. Wouldn't try to convince anybody that they're the end-all, but we like 'em.
