Anyone add an oil filter to a predator 459cc

It has a pressured oil system like many modern small engines. I wouldn't be trying to add an oil filter if the oil just sat there and relied on being splashed around. It makes 50psi of oil pressure.

And (according to the parts diagram) it already has a very basic oil filter. So (as already mentioned) ... clean your air intake and change the oil and filter every season (or more often for a heavily used item) and you'll be good to go without trying to make it do something of dubious results.

The "oil filter" is a trash screen.
An it's already done.

Oil filter vs essentially no oil filter with dirty oil.

Running the wire mesh trash screen with dirty oil the engine lost 10hp in a hour.
Running the boring paper oil filter with dirty oil there was no noticable loss in power.
