Deere ZTR 25hp Kawasaki twin running on ACD and a pureone filter. Will be moving to a longer EAO filter still using ACD at the end of the season. Compact tractor 25 hp 3 cylinder diesel gets AME and factory filter. 4 cycle string trimmer gets ACD also. The push more is a bic.

I assume this is the "longer filter"

Anyone know what the Amsoil Ea ref # is?

Who make the Briggs yello "2x" oil filter? Anyone know?

I switched from the yellow B&S filter to ST3614 this oil change. That is on my B&S 14 HP motor with 230 hours on the motor.

Could use a AA3600 or a FL400S I have in stock. These are the extended length filters I bought to use on my SL2 Saturn.
 
Haha... Briggs & Stratton 600 series, 675 engine. Splash lubricated running Craftsman 30wt. Running an E3 Spark plug in in it.

The filter that amsoil recomends is the EAO57, which is the same filter for the toyota 4runner, sequoia, & tundra with the 4.7L.

Anybody think the EAO would be worth the money in the briggs?

I'm currently running Amsoil ASE with a OEM toyota 4runner filter which is 4" long vs. the B&S 2" long filter. Dropped the FF at about 5 hours, and changed the filter. Motor is much much quieter now, and plenty of filtration. I can get the toyota filters for $40 a case of 10 including tax and shipping, at trdparts4u.com.

Ive got the 20 HP B&S OHV motor in our new craftsman riding mower. Don't mind mowing the lawn any more; pretty easy to do now.
 
I don't think so. You would get such a long life out of that without an EaO it is not even funny. Still, it is neat, so do what you wish. I think what would extend engine life on these would be to install a adapter to route oil to a oil cooler. Possibly with a small temperature switched fan (maybe a pair of computer fans)... After a good mow on a hot day the oil is so hot it is incredible.

I use Wix oil filters for small engines. The air filters are wrapped with a foam filter which helps and protect the air filter element. This does prolong the air filter endurance....worth the extra.
 
Running a 17.5 HP B&S I/C (Industrial/Commercial) Twin II engine w/Cast Iron Sleeves.

No oil filter.

It always gets BP 92 Octane pure Gas.

13 years oil & it runs 3 hours wide open in very sandy/dusty conditions.

Just changed the (home blended ...) oil yesterday after 30 hours use this year. It was dark.

Put in:

18 Oz Maxlife 10-40
4 Oz Delo 400 15-40
2 Oz. MMO (1st time)

Sound good?
 
Kohler Command 20hp. Supertech ST3600, MC FL400 or the Carquest/Napa eqivs are all I've ever run on it. If you want to go all out, some PH8A x-refs will also fit the Command twins(only 8A's with a slightly narrower O-ring). Currently it's got a an ST3600 and sump full of Shell RT 5w40.

Any suggestions on an external cooler kit?

oil filter sandwich adapter and hoses to radiator?
