Reusable oil filter

So this has been discussed before but i thought i would see if there were any fresh opinions from actual users of stainless steel reusable oil filtors like the PC Racing FLO filtor or the K&P ?

I bought a PC Racing FLO filtor at a really discounted price and with a gift card it only cost me like $58.

I am going to try it on my next oil change but wanted to here posative or negative comments from actual users on there experance using theses types of filtors .

has anyone using these filtors sent oil samples to be tested also and could you share your results.

I have the PC filter and it is wonderful. It includes a magnet to trap the metal shavings that I am thankfully not getting. Mesh is very small and filtering is consistent. The 5 micron filtering nonsense is just that as it is not a consistent 5 microns. The PC is a very good filter. Easy on and off with a wrench, easy to clean and for what it's worth, has incorporated cooling fins which, if they work even a little, certainly can't hurt. Mine is the natural alloy color, and I'm impressed.

Just installed mine a few weeks ago so I can't offer any other opinions other than that.

I put the K&P Engineering on 2 years ago. Oil temps stay consistant around 200 to 210 on 2 lane cruises and will get to about 220 on hard interstate runs in summer. Also has the built in magnet. I bought the black and had the machine shop at my indy shave the coating off the cooling fins so it matches the motor.

So BODEAN64 did you get a notacible drop in oil temps when you started using the K&P over the oil temps with your previous filtor ?

Shaving the fins to match your motor was a good idea.
