The better solution
Ever thought other filters were as good as genuine John Deere Filters?
Spot the difference: Genuine John Deere Filters vs. Fake
on the left hand the fake
on the right hand the genuine part
The fake has no seal to prevent dirty and filtered oil blending.
A flat faced O ring seal guarantees reliable filtration with the John Deere filter.
Lower spring pressure, lower spring displacement and an unspecific configuration of the spring results in reduced filtration action.
The genuine part has a specific John Deere spring and spring pressure.
Inferior paper is more permeable to light and particles.
High quality high density filter paper hardly lets any light through. This is genuine John Deere.
The paper of the fake filter is not crimped folds can pool together. The subsequent filtration will be very inconsistent.
If you feel the paper you can tell that John Deere uses premium paper. It is pressed 150% more than the fake. This results in a stronger paper that is crimped to provide a larger surface across which filtration occurs.
