This is how I read it also. Not re-using 2000 mile oil, but draining and coffee filtering the oil every 500 miles then putting it back in.
From what I can find, coffee filters are ~20 microns, so a decent particle size will be caught. Is it worth the hassle of doing it and would there be any benefit?
Don't know anything about this engine, but from a quick google search, this thing has both oil filters and oil screens, so the engine is already filtering the oil.
Why go through the hassle of draining, filtering and pouring back in (as well as having to use some new oil for top off)?
