You can use any filter you like. I use wix on everything. Put in your filter number and cross it to a wix. Don't use a fram they restrict the oil to much.

(( racing is the only sport that you need two balls ))

I never understood going with an automotive filter on a lawn mower with the big reason being because there cheap :confused2: I read on these forums all the time about guys spending all types of money on this supposedly superior synthetic motor oil because of its better protection for there engine and then they turn around and buy some two dollar oil filter too save money. icon_scratch.png

Many on this forum will use non OEM filter, but with a Kohler engine I definitely would not advise it. If you still want to save a little coin, the only non OEM filter I would use is a Briggs and then only in a pinch. This is only my opinion, and many will say it ain't worth a darn, as I'm only a grease monkey and not a professional mechanic. Use what I post at your own risk.

I agree with you :thumbsup: OEM on all my engines. I'm just wondering what that Kawasaki FJ 180V filter is gonna run.

I've seen them range from $10-15, which isn't all that bad.

Ric Have you bought a new air or oil filter for your new turfmaster yet? I ordered one just to have a spare for the new exmark 30. they dont stock them yet around here.

No I haven't but I'll try tomorrow, I'm also wondering about blades. I'll let you know tomorrow how I make out and the cost. I'm guessing they will all have to be OEM supply's.

Ok we called the shop and they had to order the blades, the Turfmaster comes with the Gator blades cost is $18.99/$37.98 for the set and he has the oil filters in stock 10.99 each so I don't guess the prices are to bad. I didn't ask about the air filter but my guess would be around $20.

I run non oe filters for the past 7 years on mine, and they are still doing fine but I second that on the Kohler the bypass has to be dead on the psi with the Kohlers.
