Reusable oil filters

[Pauly S]

ffs...

Oil filters are between £7 & £8. Service bike every 6000 miles, but only change the filter every other service (so 12000 miles).

so you would be quite happy to run your bike at low oil pressure for around 8ooo miles, cos the filter starts to block with carbonised oil deposits from about 4k onwards thus reducing oil flow,all for £7.
I'change oil and filter every 3-4k , even the car gets done every 6k regardless.
When i come back from a long tour, out in comes , in with the new.
Oil and filters changed regularly prolong the engine life immensely.
My land rover disco did 185k with no problems at all,and no major work aside from servicing

Here's an idea. Those that want to use reusable filters, use them and those that don't... er well, don't then.

Don't for get the old VW beetle engine only used a strainer made of wire gauze this was just washed and replaced. Many of these engines did over 100,000 miles and they were reliable!.

i use these type of filters nearly every day, they are sent away for cleaning but are cleaned in an ultra sonic tank for a few hours.

how are these filters cleaned? not having a pop just a genuine question
