Someone gave me this and I wanted to rescue damaged filter by placing a conventional filter inside your body.
I found this reusable anywhere bike, but first I tried the similar paper.

Hi,
You guys should realize that the only reason that the manufacturers went away from Cuno filters, or any oil bath air cleaner is so that you have to spend more MONEY. The cuno is every bit or better than the cartridge that you decided to spend money on replacing every oil change. The manufacturers were planning on obsolescence to get the general public to spend money on replacement parts.

The filtering effectiveness is far superior to the existing filters that have cuno
Sandwiched between the circular sheets, smaller sheets of 0.1 mm thick, which act as spacers between the first, therefore, the separation of the edges of the disc pack, is exactly 0.1 mm and ...... porosity of modern offered in microns |

What do you mean by "remove the non return valve"? I think this is a good idea, but, I think it would be a pain the *** to change the filter.

The spring loaded check valve in the replaceable filter element must be removed to allow the bolt through to mount the filter element.
Normal CUNO service is:
1-Turn handle once daily.
2-Drain housing every 1,000 miles.
3-Every 6,000 miles or twice a year drain housing, remove strainer assembly and clean.
If you follow the 6,000 mile schedule it really isn't any more difficult to change a replaceable element than it is to clean the strainer plate assembly.
Both John and JAM make good points here. I have to say that if your jeep is a daily driver accumalating many miles a year then the replaceable element has merit. If it's a show or parade jeep and used very little then the CUNO is fine and you follow the once or twice a year service.

Dan, I also think it is very laborious to change the filter, because you have to disassemble the unit completely, though initially my idea is not to change a new cuno them but to use one unusable. |

If you believe that spending money is significant, there is the option of using the I showed above, which is stainless steel, and is washable. |

If the stock Cuno is maintained properly the same amount of labor is expended cleaning the Cuno plate disc set as changing or cleaning an element would take. Both require dis-assembly of the Cuno housing.

The CUNO is great. Follow the instructions and clean as required. Ive had my M38 for 20 years Used to run it year round but now it has the good life and I only run it from April to November, Same engine no glitches and no problems
