Longest WIX oil filter I can use on my Kawasaki FR651V ?

[MParr]

Have you tried a Super Tech MP4967 or a STP S4967?

I committed to the Wix 51516xp as it has a better construction and the thicker Synthetic media should give maximum flow. I also found the standard 51516 has a Bypass pressure of 16lbs. While the 51516XP has same as Kawasaki @ 8-11.

This is a 51515xp however it has the same construction.

Also Kawasaki says change the oil every 100 hours and the "Filter Every 200 Hours". I will be changing the oil and filter Every 50 Hours or less.

I spoke to a Kawasaki tech & he said or 1 Year, whichever comes 1st.. And that they need to correct the manual.

this I added a MUCH better Donaldson type air filter to my Hustler Raptore.

Let us know when that mounting point on the plastic blower housing cracks..From the cheap mounting area.

When ya get serious, this is what I fabbed. FX Air Box mod https://www.lawnmowerforum.com/showthread.php/52096-Kawaaski-FR651V-FX-air-box-conversion
And buying used canister (ebay), but New filters made this only cost about $70.
