favorite oil filters?

Okay, so I need a new filter for my riding mower. They want $11 for a "tecumseh factory approved original filter" from the local mower shop. I'm thinking I'm smart now since I read this thread, can cross-reference, and its really small [2-3/4" x 3"], so I take the advice of "youse guys", and go to Napa. Guess what!! $11 :head_smack: But at least I guess I got a Hi-Po mower now!

I like the Mobil 1 filter because it is great quality PLUS if you peel the sticker off it is just pure black and looks stock!

I hate orange Fram filters and batteries with big ugly Duralast or what not stickers all over them. That suff just screams Autozone to me!

So, yeah, Mobil 1...

I have been running Wix filter...This is the best filter for me. I had seen not before any types of problem on it.

If you are using the 'long filter' (Wix 51515, Motorcraft FL-1A, Delco PH-2) you can upgrade to the Wix # 51452 for a heavier metal mounting plate and thicker housing. As an added (opinion!) benefit, it is painted white.

This filter was actually specified for the V10 Dodge Trucks in the 90's as a Severe Service option.

Does anyone use Royal Purple oil filters? There was a small thing about how they are made on Horsepower TV. Look to be good quality.. Look under Video's on their website.

WIX but just tried a amsoil filter on my B1 motor, going with synthetic in my 605 B1 TS motor.

I have always liked the K&N filter design..they are a bit more expensive but I've used them religiously for the past 7-8 years on various vehicles.

I've been using Fram filters for 45 years with no issues or failures, but will use Wix, (or NAPA) sometimes.
The only filter I won't use is Amsoil............. To dense. Thay may load up in an older engine and block oil flow...... bye bye bearings.
