I've put 12K miles on my TT 250 in the last year as of yesterday and in all of the oil changes that I've done there hasn't been a single thing in the oil screen so in all honesty I don't see a filter as a necessity on these engines.

I've not found anything in the filter screen on any of my 4 CG engines. The centrifugal filters always have some fine material though.

Paper filters are for catching micron small elements. Unless its a chunck of metal, youre not going to "find" anything in a screen.

I plan on getting an oil cooler kit with the adapter that screws into where the screen is. Dont worry about gettig a kit with the external filter. Its just the same garden hose filter in there. Im going to get an actual filter unit for the oil line.

The oil screen is for large particulate. The centrifugal filter is where all of the small stuff a paper oil filter would normally catch.

centrifigal oil purifiers actually seperates out even smaller particulate matter than a paper filter does. That is the one that is next to the clutch on the right hand side of the engine....ARH
