Donaldson Oil Filters
I just recently purchased an Ariens Zoom 42 zero-turn radius lawn mower and absolutely love it. It is powered by a 16.5 Briggs & Stratton INTEK engine with a pressurized lubrication system. I looked at Lowes, Home Depot, and Walmart for replacement B&S oil filters and the cheapest price I found was about $10 per filter.
During a discussion with my younger brother who, too, just purchased a new riding mower, he told me that he had bought Donaldson oil filters for his at a cost of $4.35 each. My younger brother has been a diesel machic for 20 years and the Donaldson filter choice was a no-brainer for him. I have never heard of Donaldson until my discussion with him. Does anyone have any experience/knowledge with Donaldson oil filters?

I don't know "Donaldson" but I can tell you the most effective way to get a new oil filter for a small engine is to take the old one off, go into ANY parts store, and hold it up against the automotive ones. I bought a $2.30 one to replace the one that Cub Cadet or Kawasaki wanted close to $20 for.

I've used them. Don't know where to rate them, though.
Never had a problem. They make filters for airplane engines, heavy truck engines, and just about anything else. https://dynamic.donaldson.com/webc/WebStore/search/application/search.html

They are here in MN. Couple of good friends are engineers there, and they do lots of R&D. Filters is all they do, and they are very good at it. Use em!
