Desperate for filter tips
Asked by Marty O'Callaghan
I WANT to get a re-useable/washable oil filter to suit a 2005 MX-5. I have tried without success, so was wondering if you knew of any companies that produce them? I change oil every 5000km, and filters every 10,000km so I think a washable oil filter, while costly to start with, will save in the long run.
