motorcraft filter: mix of 1/2 quart rotella that i had laying
around and 1 quart stp brand 10w-30 cheap stuff.
...still about 1/2 quart low.
was running a fram 3614 the last few years. had one laying
around from an '80's chevy corsica that fit.
the new 3614 frams shrunk down in length quite a bit. hahahaha.
need more oil now for this filter.

I run full synthetic on the 54" Toro Titan with a Kawasaki
engine .Haven't changed the filter .In 3 years of usage it just
turned 50 hours .It's going to take long time before I wear this
one out .

54" Toro Titan,2014 .Fact I just bought a new battery last might
,Basically I got nearly 3 seasons out of it which is about par
for those puny little batterys .It will scoot which is why low
hours but it might have near 60 instead of 50 .

I just run stock filters on the one that takes them. If I didnt
I would buy them from NAPA thinking called Wix or napa gold.
Oil just 30wt dino in them all

I must be loosing my concentration because that Toro showed
right at 70 hours this afternoon after I mowed the yard .50 was
this spring when I changed the oil .So that said by seasons end
it should be about 25 hours per season of use .

you make a good point on mowing speed and longevity. with my
wheelhorse, i always mow in first gear about 3/4 throttle.
probably takes me twice as long as you. if put into second
gear, it has enough power to cut even way long grass, but lawn
is very bumpy and hilly... it leaves uneven grass around turns
and such and makes a vey rough ride for the cold beverage in the
cup holder.

oem filter for my tractor are expensive around here about $9 to
$12 each. the equivalent replacements are pretty cheap about
$4.
lots of cross references here:
shorter one:

longer one (like the one in my photo):
HTML http://framcatalog.com/PartDetail.aspx?b=F&pn=PH3600
i have 3 or 4 of the longer style in different brands laying
around. like the longer filters that have an anti-drainback
valve like the motorcraft, since filter is sideways mounted.
<edit>finally found a use for these filters. does not happen
much with the things i save. hahaha. think a couple of these
may be 20+ years old?

My truck and envoy call for the same short small oil filter.
But I know the ac-delco 61 if the long version and run that on
both.
