This is an oil filter designed for use in larger gasoline-powered landscaping and outdoor equipment such as log splitters and chippers. An oil filter is an essential safeguard to maintain a good operating condition and ensure long life in a gas engine. Oil filters remove toxic chemicals as small pieces of debris that can end up in the engines. Because these contaminants, if improperly removed, could also end up in the air or in the environment in other ways, oil filters must be meet EPA emission regulations. This filter not only meets federal environmental standards but also is an OEM guaranteed replacement part that is manufactured to the identical specification of the original parts being replaced. By the very nature of what it's supposed to accomplish, eventually, the filter will need to be replaced. Over time the filter's elements will become full of debris, and failing to replace it in a timely manner runs the risk of allowing the captured pollutants to escape back into the engine oil. When replacing the old filter, make sure to follow environmental guidelines as well, disposing of the oil and filter according to posted regulations. Replacing the filter is the ideal time to replace the engine oil as well. This filter is compatible with Husky, Cub Cadet, Troy-Bilt, Yard-Man, and MTD equipment.
