Not cheap
Saving money is not the reason to consider a reusable filter, at least the ones I have seen. They are supposed to clean as good or better ( magnets, dream catchers and bells) than stock but the main point is they are said to cool the oil a bit.
I considered one but I am running plain jane WIX filters till someone can convince me otherwise.

Thanks guys, I was looking at the Pegasus Performance one. But now with some imput and alittle more thinking, dont think its worth the 130 bucks. And Osco never concidered the pain in the a$$ it would be cleaning. Thanks all.
