Specific filter models are PL10241 and M1-102. Unfortunately I don't believe I will be able to cut open the P1 as I'm pretty sure someone threw it away before I got the opportunity.

LOVE this mower. I have a small yard, but I still enjoy cutting grass. Mower starts on the first pull every time. Nice power, pretty quiet, and the smart drive it nice. Took some getting used to, but I love it now. Good cut too.
