transmission oil filter price.

You may want to get the Kubota filter it appears they are better quality than the NAPA filters, which are made by WIX.

Look up a video called "Napa Filters vs Kubota Filters".

I use baldwin filters all the way around on my mx5100 HST

$25 versus $68. Think I'm going for the Wix for the win. :laughing:

Watch this video before making your choice. It shows the difference between the Kubota filter and a common brand.

Napa Filters VS Kubota Filters - Do you need OEM filters? - YouTube

Tractor transmissions are far more costly to repair than a car.

Dave, that You Tube video has nothing to do with transmission return flow hydraulic filters. It relates only to the engine oil filters.

The OP bought Kubota filters almost 3 weeks ago.

You are right, I should have been more careful in the link provided.

However, the Kubota L3301 hydraulic filters are not return line filters but suction filters and any additional restriction in a suction filter will seriously affect the pump producing noise and worse.

Try to resist the Wix/Napa filters. They're not the same. Here's the Kubota high pressure filter for a Kubota L3940.

Here's the high pressure filter from WIX/Napa. They took another filter and screwed an adapter onto it to make it work.

As for the low pressure filter, the magnet will not fit into the recess of a WIX/Napa for an L3940. Our son gets a very good discount at Napa with his Fleet discount card but still will not use their hydro filters. He does however use their engine oil filters along with Rotella T4 15W-40

This is a great post and is why I always buy OEM filters.

I know where the return line (low pressure) filter is on my tractor & have changed it a couple of times. Where is the high pressure filter ? Are there really TWO ?
