Exmark 708 cc Front Steer ZT... CP.

[Zee09]

New in 2017 and this was the oem filter off of it new stored in a sealed plastic container. Exmark specified a 5 hr. oil change when new. And this was it back in 2017.
Note the metal flakes in the oil. No name or anything on the filter. Adbv somewhat soft and the media I couldn't easily tear like my last Fram TG.

Looks good. I service a neighbor's Exmark with this engine. It has been trouble-free so far. The first change did have a lot of metal.

Here is the 24.5 hp. 708
Compared to the Kohler 33hp EFI it is a gas hog..

Looks good Jim. I see a metal mine in the can. What filter went back on and what oil?

Thank You and nice pics

Good to hear Jim. Was it a 3614 OG ULTRA or 3600?

Lots of break-in metal particles. Normal for that engine? Seems more than one would expect.

Yeah I'm not a fan of it, considering the same mowers came with a Kawasaki the year before this engine was introduced and the price didn't change.

Pretty normal for the Chinese engines.

Just a profit move ...

STOP! Just stop with the taunting.

Your stupid Frams will probably rust on you anyway.

They rust on the vehicles so what's the difference

I owned two Toro ZTs with that engine. It’s a Loncin. They never gave me any trouble.

A little advice about this engine. Use only FRAM 4967 series or STP S4967. WIX/NAPA Gold will leak. The baseplate bottoms out on the filter mounting flange before the gasket can completely seal.

They are really squeezing out a lot of HP on a small displacement engine on that exmark from other engines on the market. Anyways, the filter itself looks wonderful but must change the oil to remove the break-in metal. This filter was run back in 17' right?
