Default reuse oil?

My turbo is on the fritz so I am going to take it out which involves draining the oil and coolant..

My question is: Can I reuse 2 week old oil again if I have it covered and sealed in the container? i was thinking about running it threw a paint strainer screen if I was able to use it again..

Yes. What you can always do is strain it thru a few paint filters before you put it back into the car.
