Default Reusable oil filter

I was at a bike shop the other day and was looking at the reusable oil filters. I ask the mechanic of the shop about it and he was crazy about them. He took me outside to look at his bike with one on it. I was just wondering if anybody has heard anything good or bad about them.
Thanks
Caston

I still imagine you would need to buy new o-rings/seals, which might get hard to find if they drop this product.

I'll stick with the disposable filters.

They aren't that expensive, and you know your oil will be going through new, clean, filter material.

maybe they're using something from the 50s. i can see it now, toilet paper filters for you hog.

ain't worth the risk to your motor. replace with a new filter at each oil change.
