Briggs and Stratton 491056 cut

Only about 40 hours because it’s the second filter change on a new replacement engine. I’m sure many of you can instantly identify the maker based on these pix. Overall it looks fine even though I don’t really see what makes it different than a typical 3614-sized filter for water cooled auto engines.

If the same size, what makes it different than the standard 3614 automotive application is the price and the Briggs name. As a rule, OPE filters cost more than an equivalent 3614 application filter. And frequently the 3614 will have a silicone adbv for the same or often less money. Filter looks fine at 40 hours, as one would expect. Looks barely used in fact.

The same. I bought a couple when Rural King had them on sale. I wanted to keep a B&S filter on it while it was still under warranty just in case they were looking for reasons to deny service. I’ll leave this one on longer. I think B&S says these filters are good for 100 hours.

why does that look better than half the filters we use on our autos? lol
