Greetings all:
Any thoughts on using non-OEM oil and/or filters while a machine is still under warranty? My dad just bought a Craftsman T210 lawn tractor with an 18hp Kohler 5400 series engine and I am anticipating the 1st oil change which is due at 5 hours.
If the additional cost of the Kohler-branded 10w30 oil and 12 050 01-S1 oil filter is worth doing to avoid any concerns should a warranty claim be necessary (or if they are superior to something like Delo or Rotella 10w30 oil and a NAPA 1348 filter - which they probably aren't), then that is what I will use.
Thanks for any thoughts/experiences.
