I've seen those filters before with Wix and Canton(I believe). It has the same philosophy as K&N air filters. Reusable filters are good if you clean them like the way the manufacturer wants you to do it. BTW what is the cost?

At the very least I think they're worth a shot. I still wouldn't go more than 3k miles between changes though.

The Trufilter is $142.00 from Hop Up Racing or whatever it's called, I don't remember exactly.

The Canton Racing cartridge filters aren't reusable as far as I know and they also don't have a bypass valve. I'm not sure if the Trufilter has one either.

I'm going with the Canton Racing filter. You can only use a 4" tall spin-on cartridge unless you have a remote-mounted oil filter.
