K-Tuned Billet Oil Filter
The K-Tuned Billet Oil Filter is designed specifically for the Honda K-series engine. The idea of a re-usable oil filter has been used in many forms of racing for several years now, but surprisingly, there were limited options available for Hondas. Checking the inside of the oil filter is a great way to monitor engine wear for anything abnormal. However, until now, people needed to cut open a regular oil filter if they wanted to see what was going on inside the engine. Not anymore though, K-Tuned has made oil filter inspection very simple.
The K-Tuned billet oil filter can be completely disassembled for inspection, cleaned, and then re-installed on the engine. The 30 micron stainless steel filter element and tough billet design make it a very durable and long lasting part in a beautiful anodized black shell. This is a must have for race cars and serious street cars!

Slowly getting back into Hondas so this is new to me...
How long can these be reused before they lose effectiveness?

Re: K-Tuned Billet Oil Filter
KTuned sells some neat stuff, but 30 micron is kinda big. I did a quick search and 25 is normal on regular commercial filters. 30 microns is .00117", and if I recall correctly, .001-.002" is standard for your bearing clearances.
If I can buy a standard filter off the shelf at Advance Auto Parts that filters better and buy a cheap tool to open it when I change my oil, why should I or anyone pay more for something that doesn't filter as well?
Not trying to knock these guys, just why spend $90 on a filter like this? You can get a bypass filter for less that when you replace the toilet paper element, you can inspect it for debris, filter better than any standard filter and make the engine last longer with fewer oil changes.
