I've had a scotts which after the next oil change will have paid itself off well and truely. The local dealer who is 80kms away round trip and charges $30 for an oem filter was the main catalyst about buying the SS Scotts filter. Sure there are probably other cheaper throwaways out there but I had no idea how good they were and when another member brought the Scotts to my attention, the sums spoke for themselves in my situation.
As far as the work to clean it, all I can say is what work? Sure it sounds like a lot of bother but in reality it's simple and quick. Even if I could drive 10klm's to buy a cheapie, mine would have been put back on way before I got back with the other.
Regarding oil pressure issues. My oil pressure gauge shows no restriction to normal pressures so I'm not sure where that one popped up from but anyway, whatever mashes ya spuds I reckon.
I'm happy, you guys are happy. Hey, everyone's happy.
