I'm not sure about the Amsoil, because I didn't take the time to look it up, but I wouldn't use any of the filters you mentioned in that application.
All of the filters that are spec'd for that application have a metric thread @ 20x1.5mm, and a O.D./I.D gasket size in the neighborhood of 2.4"/2.1",give or take a few fractions of an inch. The FL1A and company have an Imperial thread, and a gasket that is nearly a half inch (.4) larger at 2.8" o.d.
The FL1A is a great filter, but it doesn't fit on everything.
The 400 is not a metric thread
Allow me to restate:
All of the filters that are spec'd for that application have a metric thread @ 20x1.5mm.
The FL1A, FL 400, Wix 51348 and the 51516 have an Imperial thread, and will not fit on that generator.
They have all fit just fine on my Generac, and are on there now and not leaking. Recently ran 19 hours with the Amsoil filter in a power outage with no leaks
