Are these things reusable? I picked one up at the dealer ($15!!!! YIKES!) and it appears to be a metal media instead of paper. Are they washable or should they be replaced?

 

Well the oil-filters you should clean it of with a rag make sure it is clean

2002 yamaha raptor 660 lrd exhaust
2003 kawasaki kfx 400 stock

 

you can buy reusable filters for $30 from RMATV or dennis kirk

 

I'm still not quite clear on this...can they be cleaned and reused?

 

Nope. They are designed to be thrown away. You may be able to flush out the old oil...but the crud and debrie wont come out. The outside shell is metal, but the inside is paper.If youre concerned about cost, buy the super tech filter at wally world for 3 bucks. Its rated higher, and much less expensive.
What quad do you have?

 

Thanks! I may go with one of those cleanable ones since I change my oil a few times a season.

I have a 2003 Wolverine.

 

Have any of you guys used/tried the stainless steel oil filters you are talking about in rocky mountain or dennis kirk? I was thinking about buying one cause i have to change my oil so much, and the filters i am using now are 7 bucks a pop.

 

get an amsoil filter SMF103
