Description

This part is a genuine OEM replacement oil filter for gas-powered lawn mowers and lawn tractors. Inside of an engine, there are many small moving parts that constantly rub up against other parts. To keep the mechanics from scraping and creating friction, an engine uses oil for lubrication. This oil must remain clean, though, as dirty oil would create friction. To stay clean, an engine uses an oil filter to sieve out any unwanted gunk. After a long period of use, an oil filter will become clogged and block oil from passing through into the engine. This can cause the engine to seize up or overheat. Therefore, it's important to change out an engine's oil filter after every three to six months. This is an easy fix and should be done whenever the oil is changed. Simply unscrew the old filter and reattach the new filter. Be sure to drain any old oil before making the switch. This part is compatible with Briggs & Stratton and Toro lawn mowers and tractors. It ships individually and is sourced from the original manufacturer.
