Hello, I just purchased a 'new to me' lawn core aerator. The aerator is equipped with a Kohler Command Pro 173cc vertical shaft engine. It seems pretty good for this application. I was pleasantly surprised to see it equipped with a spin on oil filter. The Kohler Pro Extended Life oil filter has...

I forgot to mention the original 'smaller' blue filter in my first post is a Mobil Clean MO4612. I looked up the service receipt when I was at my parents' house this evening. I couldn't find too much info on it online, other than the cross reference charts. It appears to be used primarily by...
