lifetime filters
A friend just sent me this link about lifetime oil filter. Seems interesting but expensive.

Claims from their website:
CLEANABLE AND REUSABLE. I guess that means I still have to remove and replace it so where's the advantage?
Easy to clean (hot soapy water)....No contamination in landfill, lakes, rivers, oceans. So where does all that hot soapy water and dirty oil go?
But it does look pretty.

Oh my, I change my oil once a year, Oil filters, ACDelco PF-1218 cost me around 3.00. divide that into 229.00, it will take around 76 years to equal that out. I'm so old, I remember cleaning out the first add on oil filter on my 55 chevy, what a mess. I don't know what kind of soap would get that clean. I used shop rags, several of them, LOL Have a great day. Gene

By who's life?
also depends where its measured.....Detroit, moment to moment.....
that lifetime crap by its very language is merely a come on and normally limited to one year or a single one time replacement......and that's the universal rule in the auto parts business anyway

Joking aside, you'd have to clean this out in near laboratory conditions.
The great thing about a disposable filter is the muck all stays one side of the filter and never has a chance to get to the other side.
All you need is one piece of engine swarf to get transferred to the engine side unnoticed and your $230 oil filter could happily send it off to score your crank, block a lifter or do some other injury that would make a $5 oil filter look like a very good investment
