This is what I have been running on mine, but again I would not run this filter for 200 hours. I have no scientific proof that it would not run that long, just my opinion, based on my "understanding'' of the construction, of this filter.

Probably the same as the Kubota filter

No it is not. It fits, but the construction of very different. This filter is just like AC delco standard oil filters with the ECORE internals. No doubt a good filter, but is not built to the same physical standards as the Kubota filter.

The manuals for Kubotas and their intervals assume continuous use, like everyday all day, for commercial applications. It will take years for me to get to 200 hours, probably, and not so sure that the filter is designed for hours of non use as opposed to hours of use.

IMO there is a difference between 200 hours of use in six months as opposed to 200 hours in three years, if that makes sense.
For the hydraulic filters, I use nothing but Kubota, and kubota fluid. I do not use the Amazon "equals".

That is helpful, I assume you can get that at walmart off the shelf?

But for that price I think I would just go with the kubota Filter 14 bucks at messicks

I don't think time is really an issue as long as the engine isn't run really short intervals all the time. I'd say you have a good 3 years
 
Oil - A full synthetic 5W-40 or 0W-40 oil with a CK-4 rating…
Shell Rotella T6 is a favorite…

Oil filter - If your using an HH164-32430 Kubota oil filter, you can oversize to Wix 51515 or supersize to Wix 51773.
Look at Rock Auto for good prices, but watch the shipping costs…

Run to 100 hours, pull a Oil Analysis, run to 150, run another Analysis, then 200. Assuming the 200 looks good, keep 200…

Personally I think the engine is too new to do an oil analysis, only has 225hrs right now. Although, I do have a few pre paid oil analysis kits from lime 10 years ago. Hopefully they're still good

You stated a lot of beliefs in this thread. This one in particular is the opposite of common sense and your entire question in the beginning would have been answered already with a UOA.

All I'm saying is I don't want to do a uoa and find a bunch of wear metal from break in. Doesn't really tell me much. The same thing happened with my diesel truck when it was new. Yeah the metal trended downward after a while but still. It sounds like 200hrs is the typical oci for this type of engine so I'm not really worried too much. You guys reassured me enough

I have a ZD1211 with the D1105. At 42 hrs, I did a UOA at Blackstone. Iron was 7 ppm.

The reason for the low hr UOA was she had a slow coolant leak and wanted to make sure it wasn’t a HG issue before the warranty ran out.
