iv'e heard mixed reviews on them. cons: hard to clean and VERY delicate. I won't be running one, not worth the risk when you can go on ebay and buy 5 oil filters for like $15

All the magazines seem to love these things i have the dirt bike mag from like 5-6 months ago where they tested the DG i think and loved it 5 out of 5 stars. recommended them for anyone that has to change there oil as often as us. So where is the bad on these. the only bad i see is the initial 65- 70 dollars which if you think about how important a good oil filter is compared to the other things we buy at outrageous prices for these things its not that bad.

PITA to clean and also VERY delicate while cleaning. Thats what I have heard. Someone who has one please enlighten us

Haven't had a problem, it's surgical grade steel, filters better, plus hey, it's cleanable (parts washer). Only down part was the initial cost.
