Thinking about switching to WIX oil filters for my Kubota ZD 326 mower to save a few $$s. Has anyone experienced anything negative regarding a switch from Kubota to WIX filters?

Thanks

How many dollars do you think you'll save?

If I was going to use a filter other than Kubota, I would prefer a Fleetguard or Hastings/Baldwin. Top Quality. Then again, this produces absolutely no monetary savings, so..............

I have been using WIX on my BX22 for years. No problems. Main reason for switching is convenience to a supply house to buy.

I think if money is the concern, then the Supertech filters sold by Wal Mart are a bargain. I researched them a lot, and they are in the middle of the pack on quality and near the top of the pack on price, around $3.00, plus they are readily available.

The filter media is of good quality, and the relief valves seem better than average. I have used them on all my vehicles, including my motorcycle, which I am VERY PICKY about, and have had absolutely no negative issues. I use them on my tractor, too. About 325 hours using Supertech filter and absolutely no complaints.

I personally am not a fan of Fram or Wix oil filters. My personal opinion is that the Purolator Pure One filter is the best quality, but pricey and extremely hard to find. Well, let me add that I do like Wix AIR filters OK.

True Confession Time.
I have used Supertech filters on my wife's Honda for 11 years now. Nothing but. 150,000 trouble free miles. Change them at 4000 miles. That has been about 35 or 36 oil changes. So, the savings add up. The availability at WallyWorld is part of the ease of use.

All that said, I would have to own a fleet of mowers to attain anywhere near that level of savings. Perhaps the OP owns a landscape business and his filter costs add up. For the owner of one mower, with at most 2 filters a year, it just can't add up to enough savings to worry about which filter.

Last I heard, SuperTech is a fairly middle of the road, competent Champion filter, makers of a dozen brand names. Wix does indeed make filters for others as well, though, AFAIK.
