I made an interesting connection last night....
I need to change the oil in my riding mower. It's a 20hp Kohler. Have always just bought the Kohler brand filter at Sears for about $10. With Sears out of the picture I start looking where I can get it. Can get the Kohler online for as low as $8, but just wanted to go pick one up. Tractor supply wants $12. Thinking this thing cant be that special.. Well, it's not. Pretty much every filter name has a cross reference to it. Figured I would see if AZ carries them. So I put the Purolator # in their search. Comes back with the little header statement " This part is an exact match for your 2003 Dodge Neon"
GTFO!

Then put a Neon engine on the riding mower.... :D

Argh, argh, argh.... <<<Tim Allen grunt>>>
 
Probably do some more on my tree cleanup this morning. But, need to slow the pace a little. Two days of that followed by full nights at work and I am feeling beat up. Doesn't help that I am flying solo for half my shift. The guy that usually works with me had been off for kidney stone removal. Supposed to be back Monday. Have had a day shifter staying over half the shift each day. But the last 4 hours of the night it's been all me. I usually show 7-9K steps per day on my phone. Last night was 11K. Night before was almost 16K.

Just walk it off... :lol:
 
Might need to update - that doesn't come up as a good #. Shows 85348 for mine. Pretty sure they would be same. From what I see, Kohler used 3 sizes. I believe they are all same base. Just different height. I think most over 16hp take the tallest size.

Just check the threads and gasket to see if they match the old filter... That's what we were trained to do when I worked at Oil Express in high school... Put your finger in the thread hole and see how far it goes in, then put it in the hole of the new filter and see if it goes in the same depth... (that's what she said...:D)

Then put the two filters bottom to bottom and see if the gaskets are the same diameter...

If it passes those two tests, it will work... :D :steering:

It still confounds me that the King of mail order (Sears) didn't see the handwriting on the wall 20 years ago and get out in front of it. :soapbox:

Or give better service at their stores... Whenever I went to the one closest to me you couldn't find anyone to help you... I had to go to the main aisle and yell out for help in the tool section many times to get any help there... :rolleyes:
