Reusable oil filter for the 4g63

[pur97tsifwd]

Just found out about this company they make billet oil filters with stainless steal screens they are called k&p engineering and they make a filter for our dsms I have never seen anything about them on this forum if someone has used one I would like to know more about the product and what you though of it.

Here is a link to the filter Stainless Steel Cleanable and Reusable Oil Filters for your Motorcycle and ATV

 

[91-GS]

It's about a $100-$200 filter. Disposable ones are $10 tops. So (at one or two oil changes per year) it will take from 5 to 20 years before breaking even in costs.

Now, i can see advantages of it for racing where it can be pulled off after every race and inspected for trash or metal bits to determine health of the motor.

 

[pur97tsifwd]

you have a point there but I would be willing to buy it to save from oil filters going to land fills plus it has fins on the outer casing to help cool a magnet on the inside to pull metal out of the oil and the screen filter way better then any cheap 10 dollar paper filter.

 

[FIBA M - EC17PSE]

Well mine are 15 each as there royal purple so a little less time for me, but you say to save land fill but you cant just wash it in the sink

And why not just buy the magnus oil filter

 

[pur97tsifwd]

I am referring to less wasted metal in the land fills and all you have to do to clean it is use brake clean and compressed air and I dont know what magnus oil filter you are talking about

 

[Colt4G63 also]

Is it better to spray all that brake clean, and die of cancer, or just throw away a few filters?

 

[DSM1G90]

Think I'll play it safe using NAPA GOLD 1381's - DSM filters.

Less wastefill? They re use alot of it anyway so not a lot is wasted at all.

And the link is above, I could not add the link as my phone was playing up.

When you was the filter you still have to wash it in a controlled area and not just down the sink as you are not helping the enviroment like your trying to achieve

 

[jayson427]

Do you guys work for waste management or what? Alot worse happens every day in the world Then people throwing their oil filters away.

Advance Auto where I'm at takes used oil filters for recycling also.

 

[Joethefallen23]

Every oil filter we took off of an engine at my old job at a scrap yard was vacuum drained and crushed down to be recycled. I'd imagine any place that recycles the filters will need to send them through a similar process. The waste oil is then sent off and recycled as well.

As long as you're doing the responsible thing and dropping them off at an auto parts store that is known to recycle them, there's zero harm in using a $10 filter verses $100 reusable filter. One could could argue that 90% of people wouldn't be able to properly clean the filter without contaminating land, storm drains, etc.

 

[BigRed12]

If disposed of properly, filters should be properly drained, punctured, and crushed. Then they are sent to be recycled.

And you can't just spray out those filters with brakeleen... well you CAN... but something like that should be soaked in a parts cleaner to make sure you get all the old congealed oil off the filter element, or else your looking at a clogged filter with new oil.

 

[Abe'sGST]

Reusable oil filters just sound ridiculous. Just buy the ordinary $10 oil filter dispose of it properly and call it a day.

An easy fix is to buy your filter of choice and have Jiffy Lube do the oil changes for you. They run synth oils also.

Then you know the oil and old filter will be recycled and you don't have to fuss with both items.

They top the oil off if needed if you get low, vacuum your car out, wash your windows, check fluid levels and top off, check air pressure in both main and spare tires ... and the similar...

It can be a very expensive fix if they forget to tighten the drain plug (I've heard this happen on more than one occasion).

 

[Breezio69]

You're supposed to recycle old oil and filters? I always just toss em in the pond over by my place... haha

 

[11Banger]

Been thinking of giving the magnus one a try.. But its not really on the top of my list of things for the CSM

Oh come on, don't use Jiffy Lube if you care about your car.

Who the hell only changes their filter once or twice a year?

 

[Archer Fabrications]

I use these currently also

Wix, car quest. All the same filter, love it.

Someone who only drives their car in good weather, or on weekends.
Personally, i change oil every 4000-6000 miles. Mix about a quart of "Mystery oil" in with engine oil and that stuff will keep parts nice and clean.

 

[vingasoline]

Haha jiffy lube. I wonder how many quick lube places actually use the product you request? I have video and picture of a quick lube place here refilling their empty premium oil jugs with their shitty bulk oil. And if they don't have your filter in stock, they reuse your old one and charge for new.

A guy went in for a trans flush, they couldn't hook up the machine, so they pretended and charged him for it.

 

[Archer Fabrications]

I change mine every 750-1000 miles oil filters too. Magnus would save me some $ personally. And after 11,000 miles of nothing but valvoline vr1 20w50, my head still looks like the day it came back from the machine shop.

 

[Breezio69]

That's some dedication ^^^. Also probably overkill, but to each his own

I too fall into the new trend of 5k changes, usually run seafoam through every third oil change, so once a year. Last time I had the vc off you couldn't really tell the car had 193k on it, so I'm happy about that.
