1772 Oil Filter
 

What does everyone run for engine oil filter on their 1772? I've always purchased NAPA 1064 for mine because that is what it had on it when I purchased the machine. However, I just discovered that the NAPA 1064 is designated as a hydraulic oil filter. I would like to make sure I'm using the right filter. I'm not looking for a "best filter brand" discussion. Just want the correct part number. I keep finding different answers everywhere I look online. Thanks!

I just bought one for my 1572 which is the same filter. I got a HH1J0-32430 Kubota filter. This is the replacement for HH150-32430 and 70000-15241. I get them at my local Kubota dealer since it is close by. I get the oil at the same time.

When I went to the dealer I asked for a HH150-32430 because this is the filter I got last year. That is when I found out it the part number had changed again.

I run the 51064 in all my diesels. Wix makes it for Napa but they take the 5 off of the Wix filter number.

Here is a screen shot from the Wix site.

It also says it's a lube/transmission filter....:bigthink:

I looked up my Kubota B7500 and it also says to use the 51064 on the engine. IDK but I guess I'll stick to using them.

The important point is that you want the filter on the engine to have a bypass valve
so that if the filter gets clogged you will still have oil circulation.

I asked my Copilot this:
"Is there a difference between engine oil filters and hydraulic oil filters?"

Answer:
"Yes, there is a difference! Engine oil filters and hydraulic oil filters serve distinct purposes,
even though both are designed to remove contaminants from oil.

Engine oil filters are designed to remove dirt, metal particles, and combustion
byproducts from the oil. They typically have bypass valves to ensure oil flow
even if the filter gets clogged.

Hydraulic oil filters, on the other hand, are used in hydraulic systems to keep the
fluid clean and prevent wear on the components. These filters generally provide
finer filtration and often lack bypass valves because hydraulic systems require
consistently clean fluid."
