Oil is too important to my car. I would not trust a re-usable one.. even if it is from K&N.

Reuseable filters for automotive use such as OMNI/OBERG have been around since the early 80's.

There were primarily for Drag Racing/Boat Racing/Off Road use. Many people used them on Pro Street cars... etc. There made for frequent inspection/rebuild which is standard for any off road performance vehicle.

Personally would not use this type of filter for a daily driver.

MOROSO still produces the OMNI filter system if interested.

Nope, not expensive at all. Just wad curious because it would cost me 225.00 dollars.. just looking for a really good filter. I managed to special order 5 cases of German castrol 0w30 . Just wanna add a top of the line filter.

K&N is a good filter just dont reuse it. Mobil 1 and K&N are supposedly the same filter (both made by champ labs IIRC), so you could get that one if its cheaper than the K&N. Purolator is also a good brand.

I was reading and watching YouTube videos of oil filters. I guess u can say I was curious because the k&n filter i was inquiring about is all stainless steel. Including the filter. Looks cool also.,lol. I seen a video of a Japanese one also. Cost is not a problem for me. Ill drop a hundred or 2 for peace of mind. I also figured that maybe the parts store I ordered the 5 cases of gc would throw in a six filter for free but no!.

I was wondering about a billet oil filter. I use a Scott Billet Oil filter on my CBR1100XX. It also has a magnetic drain. I've been using it for a year. Many mc riders use a billet oil filter I just don't know about my G. I think I'll just use a K&N. Scott billet oil filters are very "pretty". I also use a magnetic oil drain plug on my bike.
