Has anybody tried on of these 45 micron cleanable filters..
Thanks...

They are very nice. There are other reusable filter assemblies like it available that are IMO higher quality.
45 mic's is twice size particle what a cheap conventional filter would allow to pass through.
The other problem is you can buy a life times worth of decent disposable filters for the cost of one of these.
Maybe more practial for a showcar or a racer.

Thanks for the input..
If I understand correctly, oil passes over paper filters but with this style, it passes through the screen....
I picked this up at Pacific Pontiac Racing for $90.00
I hope it works ok.. They also sell 30 and 10 micron screens...

Those guys are a Chinese rip-off operation. Check out their intake manifolds.
Oil goes through the paper media just like the screen on these filters. My concern is the high micron rating which is 5 to 10 X larger than a stand OEM oil filter.
Best if only used with a bypass filter.
But, as already mentioned, I would avoid the brand altogether. Cloning other brands simply puts the good brand at risk of going out of business. Too many companies have been copied and disappeared. And, when they disappear, nothing left to copy anymore and no newer products come out. We lose the thinkers to bankruptcy caused by knock-offs.

i love mine but i use filters made by k&p engineering they filter 35u @100%...k&p looks like alot better quality..
From the K&P web site...
4) How does this type of filtration compare to paper oil filters?
We use ASTMF316 testing procedures which eliminate many of the user variables found in the SAE procedures. Basically, the filter media is pressurized from one side, and when the media starts passing particles, that is the micron rating. We sent filter media from several common brands of paper filters to the lab to be run through the ASTM test. We sent the media to the lab with no names, just numbers for identification so they wouldn't have any idea what brand filter they were testing. The results for the paper filters ranged from 48 microns for the best filter to over 300 microns for the worst filter. Our tests were right in line with other testing results we have researched that have paper media filters passing particles anywhere between 50 and 90 microns. What does this mean? Paper filters are rated on averages, percentages of efficiency (also known as beta ratios) and multiple passes, so a 10 micron rated paper filter (as advertised on the packaging) may be letting particles 50 microns and larger through. The medical grade stainless steel cloth that we use is consistent across the entire media surface and is rated at 35 microns, meaning nothing larger than 35 microns should pass through the material. The bottom line is we meet or exceed the filtration performance of OEM filters, eliminating any warranty issues.
