    briggs& stratton 842921 and 492932 interchangeable?

    Same thread size (3/4-16) and the gaskets line up. They appear to be interchangeable. I have some 842921's sitting around which I'll eventually use on my Cub Cadet with a Kohler KT725 engine. They give you the added benefit of a silicone anti-drainback valve. The 492932 has a nitrile rubber...

    Kohler 12-050-01 C&P

    Looks like he may be out of room there for the 3614/10241. The yellow filter looks like it's nice and snug in there.

    Kohler 12-050-01 C&P

    Looks good!! 👍 The filter looks well built with no issues and looks like it could have easily stood up to a 100-hour OCI with the right oil which sounds like you had in there.

    Kohler substitute

    They're definitely not the same filter. I've used both, and they're both great. But you can see the differences just holding them. The Kohler Pro Extended Life is built in India and the Base plate is stamped differently. The Kohler pro has the same 8 inlet holes as the base OEM Kohler filter...

    Found a flaw with Echo Red Armor 2 Cycle oil and its not what you think!

    I'm now experiencing a bit of unburned oil when I use the Echo Red Armor at 50:1 myself. Thinking of adjusting the ratio to 60:1 or even 70:1 to account for this. It's a bit surprising considering the flashpoint is around 73 deg C, low in comparison to many competitors, and the viscosity is...

    Use bigger and better filters in your OPE

    Had a guy over yesterday for lawnmower maintenance and we tried to put on a PL10241 (Equivalent to the 3614.) I was sure it would fit on a Cub Cadet XT1 LT46. But he called me over and showed steering linkage hitting it on moderate right turns. Had to swap it out and put on an Amsoil EA15K53...

    Oil filter for 5 year old cub cadet riding mower?

    Had a guy over yesterday for lawnmower maintenance and we tried to put on a PL10241 (Equivalent to the 3614.) I was sure it would fit on a Cub Cadet XT1 LT46. But he called me over and showed steering linkage hitting it on moderate right turns. Had to swap it out and put on an Amsoil EA15K53...

    10W-35

    The viscosity is given a 30 or a 40 depending on the centistokes at 100 C. If an oil is between 10 and 12.4 centistokes, it's considered a 30. If the oil is between 12.5 and 16.3 centistokes, it's considered a 40. Hence, no SAE 35.

    HIPA brand oil filter for lawn mowers

    Yeah. Somebody somewhere decided that small engines like that which don't produce a ton of horsepower don't need an oil filter. I've seen a number of people say that myself. Your experience is showing you that's pure nonsense.

    HIPA brand oil filter for lawn mowers

    They're charging an absurd price for the Wix 51056. It's $22.99 at O'Reilly which is $8.00 more than what they are charging for other regular Wix filter.

    HIPA brand oil filter for lawn mowers

    Following up from prior, the filters came with their boxes which then were placed inside another cardboard box which had a plastic air pillow to cushion them. These were then placed in an Amazon shipper. When I took shipment of some Briggs 842921 filters a while back, the filters were just...

    HIPA brand oil filter for lawn mowers

    Just took delivery today of a 4-pack of Hipa 07-0694 filters. What I noticed immediately was that the filters are perceptively heavier than their Kohler or Briggs counterparts of the same size. I was also appreciative of more steps the seller/shipper did to protect the filters in transit than...

    HIPA brand oil filter for lawn mowers

    I appreciated the fact that they provide you with a cutaway and specs right on the Amazon page. Most of the time you never know WHAT'S inside. And finding efficiency ratings for most filters is impossible. The build quality and attention to detail in the Asian filters has been quite good...

    Zinc-plated metal end caps... integrated bypass valve with a coil spring....zinc-plated base plate.. no sloppy gluing... Maybe I've seen better, but I know I've definitely seen worse.
