Attachment 50039

wth would they do that? is it protection for the fliter from becoming damaged or something?

Less waste, you only replace the element.

I have a Pure Power filter for the Yaris, which is reusable - although I only use it every other oil change, because I hate taking the time to clean while I am changing the oil.

Pure Power manufactures the K&N reusable filter as well: http://www.knfilters.com/oilfilter.htm
