I find it staggering that the less people understand about any item the more robustly they argue over them
It is a just a frigging oil filter
It has one job, to remove crud from the oil without restricting the flow too much and bypass when it is restricted
As most mower oil pumps are at the bottom of the engine and gravity fed, they do not need to have anti flow back valves
Now if shaved monkey had done a hot & wet strength test on the filter media , or even a simple flow test then it might have had some saving grace
But no 100% trash, convincing retheric perhaps but totally useless .
And as for the use of the microscope at that magnification he way as well put a magnifier in front of his one eyed trouser snake.
Like an athlete is is all about performance none of which Mr Shaved Monkey tested yet the addle minded incapable of thinking for themselves seem to consider of use .
And when it is all said & done the oil filter on a mower is in most cases superflious
Most will run quite fine with nothing more than splash and oil the consistancy of treacle as any mower tech who has actually pulled an engine apart will attest to.
The filter that is important is the air filter but no one seems to care about them
Oh I am sorry I forgot
IT IS ON YOUR TUBE SO IT MUST BE TRUE RELEVENT & IMPORTANT
And before defenders come screaming in with the "but he has X millon followers " I reffer you to the joke we thought was funny when we were were 5 about eating poo & files being wrong .
And to pinch some thing from Hammer.
He is "Just some random guy without a clue on the internet with some tools he found."

Don't overthink this. They are all made in the slums of Mumbai. The important thing is to change it yearly.
There is no performance specification for synthetic motor oil. All one has to do is go through accepted "synthetic" motions in manufacture, there is no requirement of what is actually produced.
There is a vague legal definition. Mobil-1 famously sued Castrol Syntech, but it was in a private marketing court of arbitration. The judge ruled Syntech was making extra effort super-refining their base oil and that was good enough to be marketed as "synthetic".
What is an "internal oil seal"? Pics or it didn't happen.
I fully agree Kohler does not make their own oil filters but are you claiming Kohler does not make their own engines?
OE is the oil filter Kohler sells and fitted as Original Equipment. This is much different from OEM.
OEM is Original Equipment Manufacturer. This is the manufacturer who made the oil filter for Kohler. We have no idea who this is, but sometimes people dig deep and find out. That doesn't mean you can buy an identical spec oil filter from that company.
Auto parts companies could not purchase genuine parts from automakers, who reserved their parts exclusively to dealers selling the high dollar automobile. So the independent auto parts dealers searched out the OEMs and started buying parts direct from the OEM. Can not sell as OE but can sell as OEM.
The problem with OEM is that for example Goodyear is the tire OEM for my F-150. There is exactly one tire from Goodyear that is OE, but every tire made by Goodyear, even those which are totally unsuitable for my F-150, are OEM.
As for oil filters, if it fits it doesn't make much difference.

My oil filter is better than your oil filter.
