Lifetime Oil Filter - Whipsaw

Wonder when they will be available and what the cost will be?

Ah.......... I saw on a site out there that the price will be about $89. So that is give or take 10 oil filter changes (70-95K miles by the GM OLMS) to break even, but it does keep those 10 filters out of land fills.

 

I'd be interested.
Only have to remove and clean the filter every other oil change.
Already have a Fomoto oil drain and adding this would almost make changing oil a pleasure.

 

I would be in for 2 of them when they come out.

 

Pretty interesting. I'd be down to give it a run for the money. I'm just concerned about the mess with cleaning the thing.

 

Interesting, but... There are a few downsides. Disassembling, cleaning, and reassembling every time takes time. It looks like there are multiple o-rings; those could be a point of failure/leaks as they age. With disposable filters you get a fresh o-ring with every filter change. Filters around my neck of the woods only cost about $5-6, so that's 15 filters to break even.

Interesting idea though. Might very well be the future of oil filters.

 

Fwiw I use the amsoil filters with their oil. The filters are good for 15,000 miles.

Save on filters in the long run.

 

I would personally rather change out my oil filters. It seems very gimmicky to have an oil filter that will stand the test of time. At the price that it's going to go for, I should think that having to finance a couple of oil filters through the lifespan of my car would probably be about the same cost at the end of the day anyway right?

 

#2301 fits my H2. How much is the recommended Ultrasonic Cleaner???

 

Looks like a solution in search of a problem IMO. Neat piece of engineering but I'd rather run through 2x paper filters every 3000 miles [H1 with desert filtration kit] then rely on this.
