So where do you clean and reoil your filters?
Kitchen sink?
Outside in the grass?
Driveway?
Neighbors yard?
That solvent used to clean the old oil off HAS to go somewhere and not to mention the old oil that the solvent removed..
Not to mention all the chemicals involved in PROCESSING the COTTON FIBER of the filter during manufacturing.
You "environmentally friendly" guys really are funny to say the least..
