I have for your amusement a Briggs & Stratton 492932S oil filter dissection. Filter was installed on my Cub Cadet with a Kohler 7000 Series 23HP motor. Was in service for 100 hours with Delvac 15w40 oil used. No idea on COO. Everything seems to have held up fine and ADBV was still pliable and not stiff. Replaced with a John Deer AM125424 filter and more Delvac 15w40 oil.

They put a fuel filter inside of an oil filter ?
Thanks for the C&P! I've said it a few times before, these filters have good construction, they unfortunately are just quite over priced for what they are.
I tend to agree. In my Cub Cadet XT1 LT46, the steering control rods will hit a PH3614 length oil filter, so I have to stick to the low profile mower specific ones.
Looks decent. As noted, OPE filters as a rule are overpriced. 'If room permits' (not applicable here), 3614 and equivalents automotive filters a much better value.
Thanks for c&p.

The picture with the gasket end tapping plate is clean oil from it sitting in the pan when I used fresh oil to saturate & squeeze out the pre-filter that goes on the air filter.

I also went to Delvac 15W40 on my recent Kohler oil change …
No clue. Got it off of either Ebay or Amazon and it came loose with no retail packaging to indicate COO.
Edit: Looked on B&S website and they are showing pictures with a "Made In India" markings on the box. So that is probably it.

I also believe this is correct. The same sized 892421 Filter they advertise for "Big Block" Vanguard Engines is showing as American made and has the added plus of a silicone ADBV. Costs about $2.00 more than the 492932 on Amazon.
