I've run the Stens 120-738 in the past, but stopped when I couldn't find them cheaper than HydroGear 52114's. Stens has a good reputation, but this filter makes me question that. It seems the blue valve pictured is a bypass valve, intended to allow oil to bypass the filter media if there's too...

Trying to buy a filter "identical" to the OEM is a tricky thing. Sweezy72 mentioned the Rotary filter has a bypass valve, unlike HG, yet has been recommended by another member. I've used the Stens filters in the past, but really have no idea if they are as good/better/worse than the OEM. I think...

The best site I've found for TPMS relearn procedures is https://www.dillvalves.com/ Use the lookup for your specific make/model/year and then click on the link to the relearn procedure. Here are the updated links to the Halderman site, but it appears these procedures haven't been updated for...

Nobody asked you to. And since you can't cite a valid reason why the ADVB would be a problem, I say it's a moot point. The bigger question is how will the filter perform over time. I'm sure Laser has sold many thousands of these and if they were really as bad as you think, the word would be out...

I think I already said that in my very first post. I already said that. Who are you trying to convince? This is a direct replacement. It even says so right on the filter. These hydros use motor oil, not hydraulic fluid, so the main difference from an engine oil filter is the filter media...

I think deleting the ADBV was a way to charge more since they are "special". I can see no reason the ADBV would cause a problem. In fact, the mower works as good as ever with them. But the ADBV was not my question. Have any idea who actually made this filter?

I realize it really doesn't need an ADBV since the filter is at the bottom of the Hydro. But I really don't see a reason it would be a problem unless it restricts flow, which would also be a problem for every filter that uses an ADBV. So far, I've found only positive comments from users of this...

I've got a Hustler zero-turn with Hydrogear 2800's. I have been using Stens 120-738, but last time I wanted to buy some the price had jumped to about the same price as the HG ones. So I kept looking for a better deal and I came across these that are branded LASER and are imported by a company in...
