In my opinion, it's the clean oil you want to keep, not the contaminated oil filter element. I run a Racor ABS10300 and elements are about the same cost. I sample the oil and when the time comes I replace the BP element, top off the oil and go on my way. One person posted that a filter works...

If I could get a unit I would get it tested. I know an oil filter guy at a filter company.
