you are correct... 32' long, tall box

No tears or splits in the pleats, no cuts in the drain back valves and no noise on startup. Used Redline oil in it since first oil change 87k on it now, it pulls 12k trailer most of the time, 32ft tall box trailer and 12k open trailer too. edit for typo

Was just curious about how this filter held up after 8600 miles over 30 months of use using redline oil 5w-40 in a 2003 8.1l engine, so I cut it open. Pictures for your viewing pleasure.

Thought Valvoline Premium Blue was formulated for natural gas engines. When I called them a few years back for a recommendation on my v8 natural gas powered generators, Valvoline said the Blue was specifically formulated for the natural gas engines and the only Valvoline oil they would recommend...

AirgunSavant, Good to here! I'm at 20 hours now and the oil level has remained the same and is still so clean you can hardly see it on the dipstick... so no more consumption. When I changed the oil and filter at 8hrs the oil was clear as new. I cut the filter open and found no metal debris in...

When inquiring at a scag dealer about the number of hours of use before they recommended going to synthetic... The person at the parts counter said the engines are already broken in by the time the machines are crated up! His reasoning was the engine manufacturer runs them on the line to test...

Linctex, Thanks for the reply! Was just concerned about going to the finer filtration with the glass media. This engine runs with about 20 psi and according to Kohler has a high flow gyrator oil pump that I'm sure would not exceed the 7-9 gpm flow rate of the larger filter. There is no flow...

A question that I am hoping someone in the know can answer. This filter will be used on a 35 hp kohler engine CV940. Wix calls for the WL10068... is there any reason that the 57148 could not or should not be used to get the better filtration assuming the slight difference in size is not an issue...
