Just because a filter's gasket may line up with the mount does not mean it
has the same rate of flow. Some may starve the engine of oil and tax the
pump. Beware

I have both the John Deere L120 and a DR Power Brush Mower, the oil
filters are the same. The JD has a 20 horse Briggs and the DR has a
13 horse Briggs. The filters are roughly ten bucks apiece, to me that
is way too much for an oil filter. Are all oil filters the same? Can I
find an automotive filter that is the same size and substitute it?
Three bucks as opposed to ten bucks?

Thanks
