Filters question

[chim]

I've read through a number of threads on filters and found some interesting comments. I use Kubota filters. The difference in cost between Kubota filters and the ones that "may" meet the OE spec doesn't make me want to take any chances.

I do maintenance at least as frequently as recommended. Changing filters doesn't happen often enough to worry about the cost.

@chim - - well said.

While it's been a long while, the difference in my little BX filters from aftermarket to OEM were a $1 or $2.

I still have a motor oil FRAM filter on my shelf from 11 years ago. Fits my BX but is obviously wonky when comparing it to OEM.

I keep it for JIC (Just in case).

Still keep an OEM on the shelf too......

Well for starters why don't you look for filters for a KUBOTA and not a Kabota (which must be a chinese knock off).

Oil filter and Lube filter is the same thing.

Thanks

You don't have a chinese knock off right.
I edited your model name.

Honestly Flip, I try to use "good" grease (I think Lucas Red 'N Tacky now) that I get on sale.

I see many guys here swear by synthetic; we don't have much access to synthetics in our very rural area.

I figure if I apply good grease often, it still works.

Not arguing for/against synthetic...I just can't get a synthetic, and I would try one if I could get one locally ...

I prefer the Lucas green heavy duty. It seems to stay in place better than the red.
