The vast majority of small engines (lawn tractors, generators, etc)
use a Fram 8170 (or equivalent) oil filter.
It is about two and a quarter inches long
However the price on the OEM versions are 10+ dollars...

If there is room,
the Fram 3614 / Purolator 10241 also fits,
is three and a half inches long,
can be found on discount shelves,
and holds an additional 4 ounces of oil.

Use a 1989 Yugo GV as a reference
I paid $1.85 for my last 3614 equivalent (Driveworks DW-241) filter...
If there is even more room,
the Fram 3600 / Purolator 20195 is just under 5 inches long,
usually the same price as the 3614 equivalent,
and holds eight more ounces of oil.
(My Craftsman LT2000 lawn tractor uses 56 ounces with the OEM filter,
with the Fram 3600 equivalent, it is exactly 2 quarts, no measuring!)

Use a 1995 1995 Ford Taurus with 3.0 as a reference...
My last four filters were $1.99 for an STP S3600, $1.85 each for two Driveworks DW-195,
and $1.99 for five quarts of QSUD and a Purolator PL20195 (after $10 off $20 purchase, and a $10 rebate),,,
