Has anyboby used the K&P re-useable oil filter before? Any benefits? Did you sample your oil and or just use them and believe the hype? Would  love to get your thoughts if you've used the product.

I see Doc in the Heavy Duty Mag swears by them.

Roosta I would recommend Walka's Filter over the K&P one purely on price. $180.00 Vs about $140.00 I think by memory. Also there is a marked difference in size. Walka's filter is about the same size as a HD OEM where as the K&P is about 2/3rd the size. Same material, and capability as in filtering capability. Also they come with a nut on the end for easy removal.

The one thing about having a reusable filter is when cleaning you get a bit of a shock with the crap that is running around inside your engine. The magnet on the face of the filter pulls out quite a bit of metal that would/could cause issues later on.

You will also hear about they don't filter down to 5 Microns like the OEM filter does. Well that fine and dandy but that is when the filter is new, and the oil is at operating temp. Before that you might find the filter goes into Bypass mode until the oil heats and thins a bit. Until then oil is not being filtered. There is a lot of Who Ha about them, both have their pro's and cons. I have been running one for about 2 yrs now and am quite happy with them.


Asbestos suit on.....

AJ56, which one do you use?
I'm looking for positives on filters people have used.
I understand the pros and cons mate, have used these filters for years in the mining industry and in the Army, but their used as a primary filter and most if not all machines still run a replaceable paper element filter in the system.
Purely on price, well thats not the smartest buying, but if that's how you roll, so be it.
This is off the K&P site in US Dollars,

 

 

Oz I use the K&P. When I said price I meant that, as both filters have very similar stats. Apart from the size difference. I got the one from Walka for my daughters partner. I personally think that the K&P one you are paying for the name. And the same as you I bought the K&P before I knew that Walka sold something similar and he was selling them for $99.00 a while ago on sale....

Cheers Aj and Oz,

Will give him a call. Is this the one ???

 

 

Yep

Thanks for the info here guys.

Ordered my filter from Walka yesterday !

Another happy VPW customer here as well, Cheers Walka.
