I've been using JD oil filters for my 2 diesel tractors. (Yanmar powered). I found a cross to Purolators (both Premium Plus and Pure One). They're easier to get and less expensive. Is there any compleiing reason to stick with JD filters? Anyone know who makes their filters?

JD M806418 = PL14612
JD M806419 = PL14459

I generally cross everything to WIX for an annual bulk buy but you can also cross to Fram & pick up at Wal-Mart in a pinch /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

the filters you posted are pretty good filters. I would use them since, as you stated cheaper.

PL14612 is a filter that's used a lot on motorcycles--just put one on my 929 Honda. Not by recommendation, but because it works and is relatively cheap. If you can afford the extra length, the PL14610 will work as well.

I see that Filter1 pays the freight. Are their prices any good??

(It appears you have to set up an account before you can check out prices.)

Their account setup takes a minute or two, prices are better than NAPA & local Co-op 15% Spring discount sale /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

This is a private guy that got fed up with wondering about oil filters and decided to start taking them apart to see who had the best. He hasn't updated in a while but it's still a good read.
