I have for your amusement a Briggs & Stratton 492932S oil filter dissection. Filter was installed on my Cub Cadet with a Kohler 7000 Series 23HP motor. Was in service for 100 hours with Delvac 15W-40 oil used. No idea on COO. Everything seems to have held up fine and ADBV was still pliable and not stiff. Replaced with a John Deer AM125424 filter and more Delvac 15W-40 oil.

They put a fuel filter inside of an oil filter ?
Thanks for the C&P! I've said it a few times before, these filters have good construction, they unfortunately are just quite over priced for what they are.
I tend to agree. In my Cub Cadet XT1 LT46, the steering control rods will hit a PH3614 length oil filter, so I have to stick to the low profile mower specific ones.
Looks decent. As noted, OPE filters as a rule are overpriced. 'If room permits' (not applicable here), 3614 and equivalents automotive filters a much better value.
Thanks for c&p.

The picture with the gasket end tapping plate is clean oil from it sitting in the pan when I used fresh oil to saturate & squeeze out the pre-filter that goes on the air filter.

I also went to Delvac 15W40 on my recent Kohler oil change …
No clue. Got it off of either Ebay or Amazon and it came loose with no retail packaging to indicate COO.
Edit: Looked on B&S website and they are showing pictures with a "Made In India" markings on the box. So that is probably it.

I also believe this is correct. The same sized 892421 Filter they advertise for "Big Block" Vanguard Engines is showing as American made and has the added plus of a silicone ADBV. Costs about $2.00 more than the 492932 on Amazon.
