PT 422 oil filter cross reference for Robin engine

[pairodime]

I hit upon the same purolator part in a similar fashion. Went to the local Robin dealer for a filter and they didn't have it in. They crossed it to a Stens model, which I had to buy since there was no other choice. Right on the filter it says it replaces 4 different models, one of which is Robin par 26165902A0. That filter number crossed on the Purlator web site to the same you found L14476.

I wonder why Robins changed the part number /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Here are the specs for the filter you reference:

L14476
Just click on the specifications tab.

In my opinion the Pure one is worth the couple extra bucks, the pure one is PL14476


You may also be able to fit this larger filter in there?? It has all the same specs except size and the bypass valve is set two psi lower, but it's twice the size so you may not ever bypass the filter except on cold startup, which would happen on any filter.

PL20195 (FL-400S)
Again click on the specifications tab

"" cannot find 10w30 oil ""

Amsoil makes two 10W-30 oils: www.amsoil.com/products/xlt.htm and www.amsoil.com/products/atm.html .
However, I prefer AMSOIL Series 2000 Synthetic 0W-30 Motor Oil www.amsoil.com/products/tso.html which is "Recommended for use in all vehicles requiring 5W-20, 5W-30 or 10W-30 motor oils.", and use it in all my engines. Amsoil 10W-30 is technically compared to other leading oils at www.syntheticwarehouse.com/Amsoil%20compared.htm .

Don't get hung up on viscosity! The first # is what the oil acts like when very cold, while the second # is what the oil acts like when very hot! In extreme cold 0 will crank easier and lubricate quicker than 10. In extreme heat 30 is 30! The Four-Ball Wear Test is the best measure of how an oil will protect!! The High Temperature/High Shear Viscosity predicts performance in a hot hard working air cooled engine! Does any engine work hotter or harder than a lawnmower??


"" specifics about which Amsoil products you use? ""

Glad to! My original intent was to find a motor oil for my car, SUV, tractors, ATVs, lawnmowers, chipper, and generator which would replace the Syntec 5W-50 which I had been using for many years. My first choice was Series 2000 Synthetic 20W-50 Racing Oil www.amsoil.com/products/tro.html , but then determined that the AMSOIL Series 2000 Synthetic 0W-30 gave very close to what the 20W-50 did in reducing wear but offered more power with increased fuel economy! (If an engine produces more power on less fuel, then it is producing less unwanted heat, which is the enemy of any, particularly air cooled, engine!)

Oil Filters: Amsoil SuperDuty

Hydraulics: Synthetic Tractor Hydraulic / Transmission Oil www.amsoil.com/products/ath.html

Grease: Series 2000 Synthetic Racing Grease www.amsoil.com/products/grg.html

Chainsaw: DOMINATOR Synthetic 2-Cycle Racing Oil www.amsoil.com/products/tdr.htm

I'm looking forward to trying Supershift Racing Transmission Fluid www.amsoil.com/products/art.html in my automatic transmissions!!


PS: These products are not cheap, but the increased performance and service life make them well worthwhile to me!!
After spending $15,000 for my PT-425, the cost of a couple quarts of oil and a few squirts of grease is insignificant!!!!


PPS: I am NOT an Amsoil dealer, but I do know a good one!!

I decided to use the PL filter...used 10-30 Castrol dino oil...will probably switch to synthetic after some more break in hours. Robin manual says engine has 2 drain plugs...looks as though PT plugged the one outlet, the other has an elbow coming out and capped by a 3/8 brass cap/plug....(I jacked up the opposite side slightly to try and get as much oil out as possible)located directly above a hole in the lower body so makes for fairly easy access to drain...now the filer is not so convenient.....fortunately the filer was only "hand tight" and fairly easy to remove but I made a mess from the initial oil leakage...will be making a trip to the Dollar Store to find a small plastic type tub that will fit underneath the filter to catch this spillage for the next change. Also going to follow an earlier "tip" and will have 2 small holes drilled into the dipstick to better see the oil level...not too hard when the oil is a bit dirty but very hard to see the oil level with fresh oil!
