This should start a spirited discussion.
Would you use this? I'd want more test data and actual customer field use.

Interesting idea, but why reinvent the wheel? The old-school cartridge filters that BMW has been using for years work fine.

My only concern is the o-rings. You'll need to replace those; so now you'll have to source them individually every oil change vs getting new ones with the OEM filters.

I could see a filter like that being better, given the right mesh sizes you could do a staggered setup with courser on the outside, finer in the middle, and really do a good job trapping all particles not just certain sizes. But I see it as expensive and something you'd still change unless you have an additional setup to backflush it backwards. Seems like cost and effort for no real gain, a solution for a problem we don't have. |

 Looks like a nice product, but I'll stick to buying 3-packs of Mann filters...

the first review is what really threw me off:
"2nd review on ECS. Mann the oil filter I love it. Does exactly as mentioned. I can feel the difference from the other types of filters out there. I feel special knowing that I have something that the big boys got under my hood. Engine is loving this new filter!!!" How the hell do you feel a difference with oil filter flow?? that's just ridiculous. anyways, I agree with the other posters here. nothing wrong with the tried and true method of using regular Mann filters, especially considering that they are very good quality. |

They do work for racing engines. When I raced motorcycles guys used similar ones b/c we changed the oil every 2-4 trackdays. On my car no need. As noted above you still need to change the o ring seals, still need to flush it & clean it. Complete PITA.
