Engine Type of Oil for Push Mower

[Carscw]

What I hate is the $25 air filters every month.

Kawasaki, Kohler, Honda, NAPA do not make, oil, oil filters, bearings, seals, battery's. They buy these items from a out side company. OK one more time for the ? times. A outside company makes a oil filter for ( Kawasaki, Kohler, Briggs, Honda, NAPA) then they make, paint, and print it to their specs. Believe what you want because I give up. If it makes you warm and fussy buy your filter from the dealer.

WE KNOW THEY DO NOT MAKE OIL FILTERS , OIL ETC BUT ITS EASIER AND YOU KNOW YOU ARE GETTING THE RIGHT PART FOR THE ENGINE INSTEAD OF CROSS REFERENCE THE FILTER TO SOME OTHER NUMBER.

Now come back down from the rafters

You switch air filters once a month? Dam I just blow them out twice a week and replace them at the end of the season unless they get really bad, warped, or oil saturated or wet...

I think it's easier just to stop at the parts store buy case of oil and filters get my 10% discount.
I can't not stand going to a dealer paying twice the price and most don't carry 10-30


Now the brand oil you use does make a difference in how the engine performs there have been many test done.
One test one done on a dyno they ran the test 6 times and only thing they did was Change the oil. Each run showed differences in hp and acceleration.
Would you not want to use the oil that put out the most hp and best acceleration?
As it lubricated everything better to make it move more freely.

I dont see the difference in price overhere between spurious and genuine "branded" parts.

A kohler small filter is the same as a briggs small and the kawas are the same as the hondas.

But when we go into our autoparts stores then they cant cross reference a genuine brand filter and so say go to a lawnmower dealer.
Also cars have gone to a paper element style oil filter instead of a metal screw on.

I may change air filters a couple of times a season but for the most part I'm like you I just use the air hose on the filter and hot water and dawn dish soap and clean the element let it dry and your good to go. I do buy oil filters and edger blades bulk, save me a lot of money.

I know what you mean. It is such a large job to cross reference a oil filter number. Should make it a crime to make a parts person work SO hard. I also bet they stock all lawn mower filters in the rafters. We just swing all through the parts stores from the rafters like a bunch of monkeys with a six shooter strapped to our side in USA, didn't you know that, that's after we eat a pound of bacon for breakfast. Try it once its fun. :thumbsup:

Now a true American breakfast at the local grease spoon. two eggs, double order of bacon, home fry's, two slices of well buttered toast, black coffee, a 9mm Glock next to you plate, and add a bowl of grits for the southern states. oatmeal and toast isn't going to give you a heart attack way too healthy. A UK breakfast muffins and tea.

Auto parts stores also carry kohler, briggs and Kawasaki filters as does walmart, Kmart ,
