Will it harm an engine to use a larger oil filter than it calls for?
On our farm we have four different engines that call for slightly different oil filters. Kubota RTV 900, RTV 1140, Kubota B2920, and tractor with small Mitsubishi Diesel engine. All with the same filter thread and gasket size but with slightly different O.D. and length.
Is there any harm in using one size fits all oil filters, or should I stock 4 different filters for all the rigs. The largest of the filters will fit on all of them. One of the engines does not call for a Back flow preventer. Will it hurt to use a filter with one?
Even though the larger filter costs a buck more, it would be easier to buy those in bulk than run out of a specific one. Thanks for any replies.
