Having a hard time finding the right oil filter. My Fastrak has the FT730v Kawasaki engine. Are you guys OK with using a non-Kawasaki oil filters and if so which one is a good one. I wouldn't mind something cheaper and even a little longer than the OEM one. Also does anyone know if the Hydros use the same filter? Hydrogear 3200. I'd love to be able to feel confident in some Wix parts.

1) Hydrogear filters are different to mower filters so don't even think of it
2) nearly all imperial mower filters are basically different shapes of the same thing
3/4" x 16 NPP thread
20µ to 30µ mesh size or 25µ commercial grade paper ( +/- 5µ )
≈ PSI pressure relief ( you will never ever clog a mower filter )
Anti drain back valve ( needed to keep up oil pressure on pressure fed cranks )
So go to the Prime Line / Stens /Rotary / Oregon web sites and find the external size that best suits your needs

FWIW
I keep B & S Long , B & S short, Tecumseh & Kohler aftermarket oil filters .
One of those 4 will fit
The usual problem is the filter fouling on the sides of the mower so you can not get it on over the spigot .
