I respect that you have an interesting idea. That said, there are other considerations to oil besides removing contaminants. Water is seldom a problem in tractors that are used every day, and changes done on schedule. There is always some acid build up in engine oils. That needs to be removed. The other major consideration I would have regards the condition of the oil's additive package. Modern oils (both engine and hytran) rely heavily on additives to provide their protection, and they do deplete and wear out over time. Simply cleaning the oil is not enough without restoring the additives. I'm surprised that nobody else has brought this up. Again, I respect the idea of recyleing, but the cost has to be in line with new oil, and the quality has to be in line with new oil. It simply costs too much to cheap out on oil. For what it's worth... Rod
