Might be talking about this. Never heard of someone using it before. https://www.amazon.com/Autobahn88-Un.../dp/B01D34AOKU
Edit: If he's talking about this I would not recommend it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPF8nYfw674
You have to dispose of the contaminated water properly and its $240.

I could have been the only user here if only Hubb had the correct filter. The listed one at their site is not compatible w/ the Mirage. I was not able to claim for a refund as I had the item delivered to my country thru a courier and it took less than 2 months to receive. I notified the HUBBS company but NO they did not acknowledge that their filter size was wrong.

I should have ordered PurePower! filter instead albeit at 2x the price of Hubbs.
The product sounds interesting: Hubb re-usable stainless steel oil filter
Here's an article with some more details: Is this the future for oil filters?
Edit:
Upon further review, cleaning/maintaining one of these filters sounds like an expensive proposition. Apparently you don't just wash these filters out in a parts cleaner or hose it down with a $2 can of brake cleaner. You need to use an ultrasonic cleaning device which costs $450+?!? And the cleaning solution is about $40/gallon.
So if I'm following this correctly...it will cost you nearly $600 to purchase 1 re-usable filter, the cleaning machine, and 1 gallon of cleaning fluid. I can see where this makes sense on a fleet of diesel engines with large oil capacities. But not so much on a typical passenger vehicle.

Yeah, I'd rather not turn a 10 min job into 2 day venture running around trying to find one of those o ring that tore or cross threading the housing. I'll use washable oiled foam air filters in atvs but not cars. I'm too impatient. I've used this stuff for before with decent results https://notoil.com/ Obviously wouldn't work with reusable oil filters though but I feel better pouring that down the drain than oil or coolant.

All of the engine oil squirted out after the engine was started. The gasket diameter is way way bigger than the stock filter gasket. I trusted the manufacturer specs that I did not bother measuring it before installing.
From my Google search, I can (only) find 2 variants of 20mmx1.5mm threaded hole size
HUBBS has its own sizing (non-standard) w/c is far from these.
