Unfortunately not.
I looked into them fairly heavily a few years ago, was very close to investing in them but was warned off them.
I wish I could find the email, I contacted Noria, who released an article on filtration, namely
http://www.machinerylubrication.com/Read/28436/story-automotive-filters-engines. It touches on the subject breifly, so I contacted Jeremy for clarification. He stated that the stainless mesh filters simply weren't as effective as throwaway units. His advice to me was simply find a synthetic media filter.
The best filter I have found on paper so far is Amsoil's filters. I am currently running them but haven't done any testing to conclude their effectiveness. K&N filters are a synthetic media, and again on paper are a good filter. They are cheap, available, and easy to use.
Amsoil filters claimed total filtration (some 98.9%) all particles 15 micron and above, 50% 7 micron and above, which is impressive. I have seen results before/ after analysis from the states which look very promising.
K&N Claimed total filtration all particles 20 micron and above
Cellulose filters (including OEM filters) AVERAGE somewhere between 30 and 50 micron absolute filtration.
There are 2 methods of coming to the above conclusion. The first is counting and measuring the pores in the filter media under a microscope. The second is taking samples and measuring the particles in oil which has passed through the filter media. Unfortunately, I don't know which filters use which method, as method B would be the most accurate. I believe Amsoil use method B, but I am not certain.
These are very simplistic figures, but give you an idea as to the effectiveness of different filters.
BTW I believe highly in magnetic sumps. Yes they remove some material from the oil (I have read reports that the particles would have to be large enough that they would be caught by the filter anyway, so therefore are effectively useless in aiding filtration) however give a very good indication of how your engine is wearing- very little iron filings vs lots of filings. If you change your oil and suddenly see lots of filings, you can start wondering why you suddenly have far higher wear than usual....
