I found them in the 2007 Rocket Industries catalogue. Haven't got a price yet, but I would think they will be around the $100-150 mark.

check the VPW site, i think they are closer to $200

That's around 30 regular oil filters. Not worth it in my opinion.

definitly expensive but system 1 claim that there filter will filter 100% of the oil all the time where as they say that normal filters will bypass a lot of oil during cold startup. possibly this would protect your engine better. with system 1 filter it would also be a lot easier to see what is in the fitler element.

bloody oath its not worth it even if u change ur oil filter every 5000km it would take 150000km to equal the price of the resusable filter....and by that time u prolly wouldn't own the car anyway....:bop:

Thats expensive, I think the reusable one is the best option environmentally speaking, but driving a car is worse enough.

I think I'll stick with Z154 Ryco or the Genuine GM oil filter.
