My dad being the farm boy he grew up from has often asked me why i won't let him just wash out his oil filters and reuse them...there is a reason i'm the mechanic in the family not him

You don’t reuse condoms.

Heck boxers can be used 4 times before they aren't clean. Once regularly, once backwards, once inside out and backwards, and once inside out and normal. 4 days, one pair.

only a slight itch i'd imagine

AEM and other quality lifetime filters are easy to clean. They do recommend using a cleaner (AEM or K&N 32oz bottles @ 12.99) to loosen dirt before rinsing with water. Nothing complicated about that "
cleaning system". If you watch the videos they are talking about caked on dirt and fithy. Our truck replacement lifetime filters are enclosed and don't get dirty like the open air add-on filters and off-roading. Thus, simply washing with water is often enough.

Reread what filter he is talking about trying to reuse

I don't need to reread the post title. If you reread my post you would clearly see that I was responding to sstoner's post.

No, actually you weren't. he was talking about a reusable oil filter system that cleans OIL filters, you know, being on topic and all Stoner was directly replying to the OP question and the system references by the OP, not air filters, like you are talking about

You are soo right. Big brain fart on my part. Fricken title clearly says OIL.
In have no excuses, eyes probably saw OIL but brain was thinking AIR. Sorry, please accept my 86-year-old sincere apology.

No worries, happens to everyone
