Yes -- I would love to hear any comments from people who know about this stuff...

don't know if it would work, but it looks pretty cool.

One of their online dealers has the chevy truck filters listed for $99-$110 but they don't have the Dmax filter listed.

I noticed one interesting thing on their FAQ. They state that their filter filters down to 35microns. Don't the throw away filters get stuff a lot smaller than that out?

My opinion is that reusable oil filters are false economy. Yes, they last a "lifetime." However, your engine probably won't because it's receiving ****ty filtration.

And yes, WAskier, disposable oil filters filter much finer particles than 35 microns. I believe most are rated at about half of that--the better ones are around 15 microns, IIRC.
