    Hello from Germany,

    this question is no joke, but can I reuse my oil filter after removal ? I have just performed an oil / filter change and now has to remove it once more to get at the water thermistor.
    This time I installed a Baldwin filter and would hate it, if I had to scrap it after only several hundred kms.

    Best Regards and thank you in advance for your thoughts.

    Yes you can re-use it, Go for it mate, make sure when you refit it you apply a small smear of engine oil on the sealing o'ring on the top of the filter so you don't pinch it ;)

    thanks ! Yes, I always apply a small smear of grease onto the seal prior to installation.

    Best Regards from Germany
