Older Fram XG3614 cut open

[JeePing]

Decided after three years and ~125 hours on Kawasaki lawnmower is time to change older XG3614. Looking at it I think this filter could have been left on there for another three years easily. Too bad Fram stop making those.

Thanks for posting your Zero turn? filter. What did you replace it with?

I was thinking of changing my zero turn Kohler’s XG3614 oil filter with 100hrs and have religiously been doing a drain and fill every season. After ur pic, I am doing it 200hrs. Thanks for sharing.

I cant remember the number but its a smaller version of 3614 in extra guard flavor.

You welcome, I agree that filter could have easily gone 200 hours. It looked brand new after three mowing seasons.

A true OG Ultra with the leaf spring gasket. See a date code on the can?

I know its a shame Fram stopped putting those gaskets in. I'm not sure on the date code. Didn't think to look at it. I bought that filter around 2016-2017.

That sounds about right as the Ultras around that time period had the label style shown on this one.
