Why waste the money for this for the vette? A regular filter should be fine considering you haven't driven it more than 3,000 miles in the 2 years you've owned it

Did I say I would waste money on it? Ive never seen such a thing as a reusable oil filter, thought it would be cool to post. But to me it looks like another useless part James would tell you to buy for the Regal and you would. ACT like u know the deal.

system 1 and other reusable/cleanable filters been around forever, its required on a nitro car

they are handy of debris inspection but lousy at particulate filtering, ive seen them run in a bypass arangment with a std element filter. they are meant for cars where the oil doesnt have a chance to get dirty...e.g. high oil turnover vehicles
they get cleaned in solvent and big teams have special reverse flow flushers but if its got metal debris from a failure (big or little) they will just replace the stainless element.

i wouldnt run one since sutting open a filter isnt hard, just a bit of labor...better to spend that $ on oil analysis so you have a baseline and a chance to catch an impending failure

So it costs the same as 55 normal purolator oil filters ($4 ea) So you would have to run 165,000 miles to break even with disposables when doing 3k changes. Or if your like me and change at around 5k, you would have to drive 275,000 miles before the break even point....

jew would do the math
