I bought a new Cub last year with the Kohler engine and the filter was a little over $11, and I noted that it looked exactly like the one I use on my 03 Camry, a Fram DG-3614.
I even put the Fram on the Kohler and it fit perfectly, but I didn't leave it on, I put the "OEM" filter back on.
I know you only buy the filter once a year, and the difference between $4 and $11 isn't all that much, and I wouldn't worry about it if I thought that I would damage the engine, but I hate to be "had" by the parts people . . .
Does anyone have any knowledge/thoughts on this issue ? ?
