Sure you can keep the Quaker crap and as long as you use the Fram oil filters on cars where there supposed to be used there fine.

We can argue about anything you want.

I don't use Quaker state because someone I don't like uses it.

Fram oil filters are fine for a car engine that is stock.
For a small engine or a modified performance engine the fram filter restricts the oil to much.

When it comes to oil filters I only use napa gold or wix

Pennzoil and Rotella is all i run in my truck and equipment and when it comes to oil filters all i run are Wix,Hastings,Baldwin
Frankly i don't care what you run because it not my equipment.

oil in my mowers is changed every 100 hrs and comes out clean and the oil in my truck every 7500 and it comes out clean yes it darkens some but i have had my trucks valve cover off and the valve cover on my mowers and you can eat off the engines but my mowers get 5W40 full synthetic rotella T6 and the truck gets full synthetic pennzoil 5W30.

I never understood why anyone would run a car oil filter on a lawn mower, it doesn't make good sense. You run out and buy the most expensive oil in the world, your synthetic crap and then you use an oil filter designed for an automobile because there the cheapest thing to get instead of an OEM designed for the mower.

I use Baldwin filters. I am not a filter expert. But as I under stand different filter model numbers will fit the same engine but the interior of the filter is different. Some of them have a one way valve in them that release as different oil pressures and the filter is different. As for Baldwin filters they have a cross referents as to use what filter on what engine. I don't understand what you are talking about car filter or mower filter? They don't sell filters that way but by engine design. Not that many company's make filters but will just paint them a different color and put a company name on them and that is what is sold at the dealers. Yes some filters are made cheaper then others. You get what you pay for.

The plain jane orange fram oil filters are known to ruin car/truck engines regardless if its stock engine or custom built engine. The the other Fram series oil filter are porbably ok to use.
