Who is running one, and how do you like it?

How do you clean it, carb cleaner it out at each oil change?

a lot of people prefer the paper ones because they cut them in half to inspect for metal shavings.

I use brake clean and rinse it from the inside out onto a shop towel. Any shavings that are in the filter will show up on the towel.

I have been running one since new have had no problems at all very quick to clean and inspect for debris.

I just started running one on my new build and so far i like the way it works .... Clean up is a little slower than just sticking in a new paper filter but in the long run it will save me money and it protects from debris just as well as the paper filters ....

I use Brake cleaner to clean it from the inside out as well ...

i use brake or carb cleaner and blow with my air gun from about 4 inches away so the pressure isnt too great. they are pretty slick.

I use two of them in my KTM because it would cost a fortune to buy 2 filters everytime I change the oil. I usually clean them with carb cleaner but I have used kerosene and it does the trick too.
