I'm not sure one filter is better than the other Dave. But, like you I would try to follow their recommendations. However, I did watch a filter comparison video. The discovery was three different brands used on the same engine. After the filters were removed and sawed in half, the winning filter was the one that had the most holes or perforated ports between the gasket and the threaded screw hole that attaches to the engine block. The Fram filter only had 5 port holes, the AC brand recommended by GM had 8 ports. And the Autozone percolator brand had 6 port holes. So, Fram was the worst, Autozone came in second , and the GM filter was the best as it had the most ports. I'm guessing the more the ports the better circulation the oil flowes thru the filter. Kinda made sense. I noticed your J.Deere filter had several more ports than the Yanmar filter. Yanmar makes an awesome engine so, I would think their brand filters would be good.
Excellent video, my X758 is at 49.1 hours so I will change my oil this weekend

the entire Fram construction is junk. Proven over and over again by many people on youtube who have cut them open and done compares.
@@Boobtube. I dislike Fram. They look ugly too.
