Cleanable Oil Filters

Recommended Posts

Has anyone tried this stainless steel cleanable oil filter from K&P engineering? My friend owns a motorcycle with one of these and he recommended I try it. They are not cheap, but they are reusable. And they ought to look cooler than a normal filter.

The link is should be the one that fits in the 2002. Do you think it's worth the price?

I can buy a lot of WIX filters for that price....

Those screen strainers are exactly that. If one is not concerned about of the erosion caused by foreign particles in the oil and only concerned about the chunks (as are racers), then have at it. The micron size of filtered particles is huge with these things compared to a filter. But of course, in America it is more important to look cool.

A radiator shop is a good place to take a leak.

 

I have no idea what I'm doing but I know I'm really good at it.

there is a reason cars don't come with this type of filter from the factory...

buy a good WIX, K&N, MANN or Bosch filter and be done with it.

How a__l can you be about oil?

If you had a diesel the more the better because of particulates and huge starting loads which is why a pre-oiler with one of these will just about let you run oil for ever:

Is fuel efficiency really what we need most desperately? I say what we really need is a car that can be shot when it breaks down.

I bought this System 1 filter in 1998 intending on using it on the VW (remote filter already installed). I still have it - never installed. Anyone interested? Send me an e-mail. I bought it from Gene Berg Enterprises.

Hi--

I learned to drive on a Peugeot; I also learned how to change (and mess up) a sparkplug on that car, and how to clean a bronze mesh oil filter and a cotton gauze/oil immersed air filter. While Peugeots were winning the Paris-Dakar rallys then, our engines have tighter tolerances (and we use hypoid, not worm, differentials).

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
