The washable oil filter assembly is nearly as usefull as the bubble cover,your going to have the same mess as with any disposable filter.To save clean up time,use the tried and true 2 litre bottle trick,a spray bottle of Simple Green and paper towals.

I posted the same question months ago and never had anyone respond that had this system. Must be another MOCO bust.

When I got my07, the dealer had one on it, I told him they would need to remove it at no coats to me. They did and I was happy. I like the the reg filter.
