I was cruising the internet and came upon a site that makes a reusable, cleanable oil filter for the R3 as well as my T100. Seems as though the T100 and R3 take the same filter. I love standardization.
Anyway, it's called Scott's reusable stainless steel oil filter and it seems like there are a lot of outlets. They aren't cheap (nothing is now days), but do they work? The Triumph filter is around 14 bucks so in a couple of years you cold break even.
Lots of guys here use the K&N and some use UniFilters, both which are reusable/cleanable. Personally, I like the UniFilter better. The K&N gauze reminds me of the filters on my '68 T120...good for stopping pebbles and not much else.
Back in the old days of agricultural equipment and some auto's, the air cleaners were oil bath. Air Maze, I believe a Cleveland, Ohio company made most of them. My old Farmall has one. I don't think oil filters were cleanable back then but had replaceable cartridges.
So, has anyone on the forum had any experience with these "non-throw-away-filters"?
