Was just wondering if I took my oil filter off can I reuse my oil and oil filter. I just changed my oil about 500 miles ago. However I need to take my oil filter off to install my Cusco Type 1. Was wondering if I did reuse it would it have any negative effects?

 

i would be worried about something getting in the oil

Id say the filter is fine but replace the oil

 

taking off the filter, you will loose around 1/2 quart of oil.
as long as you dont get it dirty it will be fine.
but why not just add new oil?

 

u own an evo bro not a honda. show some pride! dont be a face, CHANGE THE OIL! loluck

 

go ahead and reuse the filter and add a 1/2 quart new oil.

 

You obviously are going to have to put new oil in, otherwise it's going to be a huge mess. And there is no problem with you reusing the oil filter.

 

Yep, that is fine. There's no problem putting the filter back on....just don't get it contaminated.

 

Yea I was just seeing if it was possible. I was just tired of having the bar sitting around my room. And I feel like it would be a big waste of oil if I just change it now since its only been about 500 miles. I do have another court of oil around. But the way everybody is saying I might just wait til my next oil change to put on the bar. Thanks everybody for your help.

 

I did the same thing twice. Had an oil change, 3 days later took off filter to put on the type one. 1 week later had to take off the bar because I was putting in a new clutch. no problems, just cost 1 more quart of oil.

 

I do the same thing with condoms, if it doesnt have a hole in it.....

as long as the oil is in a clean pan, you should be good

 

WTF?^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

 

LOL, damn, too much info!
