has anyone used a ....FLO.... Stainless Steel Reusable Spin-On Oil Filter ?

i was interested in getting one for my 2008 FLHRC ...

just wonering what you all thought about reusable oil filtors.






here are specs.

• Constructed of laser-cut, medical-grade, 304 stainless steel micronic filter cloth
• In many cases filters provide 200% more filter area
• Stainless filter catches items down to 35 microns, which is about three times better than most good paper or brass filters
• Unlike glued paper filters, the FLO Oil Filter pleat seam is welded and able to withstand up to 600 degrees
• Filters maintain consistent flow under all conditions including extreme heat, the presence of water, and cold start-ups where paper filters can flow so poorly that they often cause the bypass valve to open and allow unfiltered oil to enter your engine
• Should be the last filter you ever need; this high tech filter technology is widely used in all types of auto racing including NASCAR, Indy type cars, Formula 1 and in the Aerospace industry where filtration is of the utmost importance
• Available with chrome or black-anodized finish

 

Yes , I had one installed on my 2011 103 Street Glide @ 1000 mile check up, by Cam Tech Customs , Summerville , S.C. . I thought it was a good investment sence I plan on keeping the bike !!! last one !!!! ????? cost me 100.00 . I got out the door @ 271.00 , check up with filter. filter also has magnet .

 

Have one (PC Racing) on my 09 FLHT. Really like it. Easy to clean with brake cleaner or Simple Green...

 

COOL thanks for the comments

i figured 8 oil changes and its paid for .. ..

might just invest in one ..

 

Oh, by the way, I think the Badgers will win a close game

 

Looks cool i like it,wondering if there would be issuses with bikes under factory warranty

 

Who wants to clean an oil filter element?

 

The ad says " catches items down to 35 microns."

Harley's EVO filter requirements were 30 microns per single pass, the Twin Cam specs all the way down to 10 microns...So No Way!

(I once called Fram direct on their very cheap 6022 $6 filter and even that caught 30 microns!)

Sorry, but not for me....

 

i am looking at the FLO but i see there are several other brands any comparisons avalable?

 

Baisely performance highly recommends the KP unit which is similar. Don't get caught up on the micron rating. The paper medium is rated differently in comparison to the stainless cloth. How's the flow rate with your 5 micron filter? How much of that thick oil at cold start is being bypassed by that 5 micron filter? Regarding the cleaning process, if you can't clean the element then you probably shouldn't be changing your own oil.
