Did anyone read the instructions for "cleaning your filter" that accompany this nightmare???? I can't imagine wanting to shell out $250.00 for an oil filter, removing it, going through solvent/detergent/compressed air flushes, allowing it to COMPLETELY air dry, reinspecting for residual particles, if found, repeat the foregoing, THEN.... and only then, reinstall, and pray to God that it works.

Hey, it might not work as well, but at least it makes a 10 minute job last a full day, and the most important thing is that it costs more AND generates a few gallons of solvent waste. How very green!

Is Obama's name on the patent?

If this were the only filter out there and then somebody invented disposable filters, the disposable ones would seem like a miracle.

Sounds more like a Trump branded product.  Needlessly expensive and marketed to people who have no concept of value.

It reminds me of a Saturday Night Live skit about the Bassomatic fish blender.

Who thinks this stuff up? Who would buy it?

Guys did this on their ATV's and they all blew up sooner than later because the fines all passed thru the screen filter.
