I have a Kawasaki engine on my Toro zero turn mower. The engine has 3-4 years of factory warranty (about 1 year left) so I’ve been using Kawasaki branded filters since new just to avoid any finger pointing or having to argue about filter specs if any engine trouble arose. The Kawasaki branded filters seem well made and aren’t overly expensive considering I only service the engine oil and filter once per season (less than 100 hrs OCI).
I happened to stop in the dealer shortly after purchasing the mower and picked up some Kawasaki engine oil and a filter. I didn’t think much of it as it was all in a shopping bag but when I opened the bag up to perform the service a few months later I realized they didn’t give me a Kawasaki brand filter. I ended up ordering a Kawasaki filter and using that instead. I came across the filter on the right again when I was organizing some things in my shop. Can anyone identify who makes it, if it is indeed a direct substitute and if it is a good filter or not?
I’m a little worried about using it if the quality isn’t there. I’ll just keep on ordering Kawasaki filters in that case.
I almost forgot…first post on BITOG! I’ve been a lurker here for a long time but finally decided to join so I could participate.
