I got one and it is certainly not an exact fit. If I recall correctly the diameter of the seal is a little biggr than that on the original oil filter. This makes the actual seal barely catch the inside diameter of the rubber gasket. I'm not real comfortable and would like to find a better fitting unit. I'm not at the hangar and I can't seem to remember exactly what brand mine is. Thanks.

I purchased a case before Wix discontinued this filter (#51065). I have switched over to a remote oil filter which take a much larger filter. Anyway I still have 5 filters left that I will not be needing. If anyone is interested in them drop me a email.

Whitney, the brand name was "Perma Cool". It was sold as a "universal" remote kit. It had 2 different fitting to mate the remote adapter to my engine block (one was a very good fit if I recall). They also supply 4 different threaded inserts to mate with the engine blocks threaded stud which the filter spins onto. Again one was a good fit. I've been running this setup since April of 06 with no problems or leaks.

I had noticed the Briggs & Stratton filters, but I wasn't sure about the quality or the pressure handling ability, since I don't have a pressure gauge on my riding mower. Since others are having good luck, I suppose that I'll just use the Briggs filter the next time. Thanks Again, Jim Weston 601HDS -----Original Message----- From: owner-stratus-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-stratus-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of LarryMcFarland Sent: Saturday, January 03, 2009 10:31 AM Subject: Re: Stratus-List: Oil Filters Hi Jim, Go to your Lowe's building supply store or equivalent and find the Briggs & Stratton ELS Series Part Number 5076 This is a premium filter and it is what I use. There's a black Briggs as well that looks the same and can be used also.
