Yes. Well there used to be. I can't remember the manufacturer, but in the late 70's a customer brought in a car for me to plumb up a remote oil filter. I plumbed it in and looked at the filter housing, it was clear plastic with a drain. The part that was unique was it used a standard roll of toilet paper as the filter. It was something I have never seen before or since. Good Luck.Is there such a thing as a re-useable oil filter that you clean and replace, like an air filter?
an oil filter is not that expensive, unless you are driving a VW or a diesel. I would just go buy a new one. They aren't more than $3-8 depending on the vehicle.
some air filters may be washed when it's specified.for oil filters to be true i never saw any washable ones.
None were ever made as they would take more time to clean and would create an ever bigger mess to clean and dispose of the cleaning solvent. Quicker easier and better for your engine to get a new filter.
The old VW Beetle had a sort of wire-mesh filter that you rinsed out %26amp; replaced (I remember it well, bl**dy thing!). Not now, though. There are add-on additional filters that are cleanable, but they're extra, not in place of.
The Oberg oil filter has a removable screen that you clean and replace. But it iis not intended to replace your spin on filter, and requires a bypass set-up with hoses, fittings and sandwich plate.
NO
Never heard of one...That would be way more trouble than screwing on a new $4 filter.
on some cars there is (bmw land-rover mb
not for oil
no
NO......
yes, some small industrial engines use them %26amp; some hydraulic systems on plant have them.
Not that I know of, on a car. If there was one, I certainly wouldn't recommend it, though my old motorbike didn't even have an oil filter.
No.
