I changed oil in my John Deere zero turn with a Kawasaki V-twin and this is what came off. Looks like an e-core with metal caps. I refilled it with John Deere 10W-30 oil and I replaced the filter with the exact same number. The dealer threw in a filter and a couple of quarts of oil, so that was a no-brainer. The filter looked okay (by my standards), but I will probably go with a Hastings or Wix next time the oil change is due.
