I looked through the other similar thread and it's fairly old, and it appears to have large gaps between times & posts (one page jumps from 2021 to 2025 iirc). I'm certain it is very usable once a person finds the right info for their particular tractor, engine &c then it's pretty much set in stone and you know which parts work for your tractor.

Is it time for an updated thread for perhaps newer models/engines coming out?

I have the LS MT242 and it is time for its first oil change. The manual is sort of vague on the engine, giving code 4TNV88C for the Yanmar on page 7-3 of the manual. I say vague because one would figure that in the beginnings of the manual it would say right up front what the exact engine in this thing is. It doesn't.

So I looked this up (4TNV88C) and found the Wix WL7081 is the appropiate filter (allegedly).

Then I found this cross reference page: Oil filter cross reference

So I ask all who have the MT242, is this correct? Which oil filter did you find that works best? By the way, LS wants about $30.00 for one filter. No way I'm paying that much for one filter.

Thanks!

Any takers who have the same tractor or engine? Was wondering if anyone has a verifiable cross reference for a more domestic filter than going with the LS brand.
