Years ago, toilet paper filters were popular

Apparently they worked pretty good, but I always thought it was a sh---y idea...

Actually the toilet paper filters worked almost to good, depending on what type of toilet paper you used. They would actually filter the oil down to less than 0.05 microns, which was small enough to take some of the oil additives out.

I wouldn't recommend using a toilet paper filter today, because almost all of the toilet paper out there breaks down much faster than toilet paper made 40 years ago.

The PC Racing Flo Reusable oil filter has two problems with it besides the price. The first it does take a while to get it properly cleaned for reuse, and two it cannot filter dirt as small as the OEM filter. I don't know for sure since I haven't seen and specifications on it, but I would suspect the smallest it can go down to is 50 Microns.
