Champ PH2835 (Ecore) C&P

[ctechbob]

Came off my Kohler 7000 Series V-Twin. 40 Hours on the filter. Oil would have been from my 'mix jug' which is the tail ends of whatever I use for the cars. Likely a bunch of Synthetic and HM Havoline, and then some Valvoline as I transitioned over to bay boxes.

Nothing spectacular. Filter looks good, glue is in good shape, ADBV is still flexible.

Doesn't get much cleaner than that. Looks great. Kohler makes some nice OPE engines. I am assuming this is on a mower either lawn tractor, garden tractor or zero-turn?

Yea, just a homeowner variety Cub Cadet 42" lawn tractor.

What filter went back on? Thank You

For using used oil that filter looks clean.

 

[Fair enough]

Date codes are starting to matter. The latest Fram made ecore style center tube filters have metal end caps. They haven’t done good engineering with the changes. No engineering at all, and it doesn’t take an engineer to see it. Bean counter engineering maybe it could be called.

It’s nice to see these glued ends can hold up to OPE oil temperatures.

Doubt he’s a cheap as oil pan 4. Probably new leftovers Justin. I won’t use black, “reclaimed” CSOB methodology

Not used oil. Just leftover bits from the OC's in the cars/trucks.

I’m glad your thrifty like that and not like oil pan 4. If someone knew I did the stuff he does I’d have no friends


We used thousands of that filter and filters from CHAMP LABS. never a filter or oil issue.

Usually the leftovers tend to be mostly the same thing as I try to stick with a single oil. That was usually Havoline Lifelong 5W-30, then that became hard to come by for a while and I used their HM version. Then once Valvoline started selling their big bay boxes I switched to them, so now everything is getting R&P 5W-30, so that's what I'll be sticking with for the foreseeable future. So the leftover jug will just be used at the tail end of the big 5 gallon box to squeeze the rest out.

These days the oil choice is dictated by the F150, the two Honda's don't care and the kids Compass was also switched over to 5W-30 a long time ago since it was drinking 0W-20 like a drunken sailor.
