I always run them after the first few oil changes and never has a problem. Just make sure you clean the the right way by back flushing them.

First off, if you are going to do keep this ATV I suggest you buy a manual off eBay of from your local dealer.

Second I would not use the reusable filters since especially with a new engine you get metal debris in your engine which lies in the filter.

I have a Scotts Stainless Steel filter. I've had it installed for 6 months. It's a breeze to clean and I've seen no ill effects from using it. They cost $70.00. A little pricey but, after a few oil changes you start saving money over buying disposables. I would recommend you get one.

No offense, but of coarse you don't see any problems your machine is an 06. Which actually is the worst, because you were still breaking it in.....The filters coast $3 just put a new one in each time and then you won't have to worry.

No offense taken. I used disposables for the first 2 oil changes and went with the reusable since. Everyone has their opinion on the matter and I expressed mine. I'm happy with my choice. To each his own.
