the K&N Filters WERE PurePower! filters, just rebranded. heck on the box, it even said they were made by PurePower....

I would never buy anything like this. I just posted it to see what the members thought about it.

According to PurePower, SAE and ASTM testing showed a 90 percent filtering improvement over standard cans.
lol 90% "improvement" over my M1 and Ultra filters?!
Somehow they conveniently forgot to show or link the aforementioned tests in their advertorial.

The holding capacity on mesh is abysmal iirc
Key word is first pass.but i like this. It act as a oi cooler.for commercil use (truck. Taxi etc i wouldput these.I might put one on my car. Will i ever recup the cost?ech no. I paid 2.84 my last filter. It would take 50 years lol

Do I enjoy cleaning an oil filter ? Heck, NO.

That's also why I like spin-on replaceable cartridges!

A filter like that would be good for guys who race their car for a couple of reasons.
1) It will have very low flow restriction at a reasonable level of filtration.
2) It can be opened and inspected easily for captured particles. They would be easier to see than dissecting a normal spin-on filter.
Cleaning might be somewhat of a pain, but that's part of having a filter like this.

$140 (plus my engine) for an experiment. Advertising claims longer OCIs and better flow.
I'll pass thanks. While it may certainly work, I think it's prudent to let automakers do the research; once they're installing them on new vehicles THEN I might get one.

Automakers have less than zero interest in improvements related to engine longevity, (the majority of their customers have a slightly higher interest level, around zero) so you'll be waiting a long time.
There are no production bypass or prelube systems as OEM, AFAIK, though the latter, at least, is pretty simple and would be cheap to implement.
I THINK I've seen a report somewhere on re-usable stainless steel filters that said the filtration was worse than paper and blocked quicker, but I dunno if it was this one.

Whenever I see these reusable oil filters brought up (they have been occasionally) makes me think of one bitog member..boxcartommie22. Loves these resusables, and can give you 'his' list of reasons for running them.
Not my cup of tea but hey, strokes for folks.

If a throwaway filter can get your motor to 300k+ miles without a problem, what is this expensive filter gonna do for you?.,,
Assuming they actually clean the oil and work properly, I can see the appeal of not throwing away filters and parts, and being able to inspect every part of the filter that goes on the car. The problem with disposable oil filters is that how good or badly they work is never known, until maybe you cut one open and see that it has failed. Let's say $140 covers the cost of filters for 200,000 miles. If you do 5000 OCIs that would be $3.50 per oil change, or about the cost of using a real cheapy filter. Might be half the cost of using something like Fram Ultras or M1s.
EDIT: I looked up the filter for my motorcycle at the company website and it lists for $219.95!

Exactly. I've used those despised "rock catcher" Denso, Toyota or Honda OEM filters since new and I don't have excessive consumption or anything.
Belief turns to reality on some of this stuff.

And get you what exactly?

Well then I guess I won't be using them!
