I have a Jubilee. It was converted to a spin on filter before I bought it. The engine was also totally rebuilt. Now some people say there is something wrong inside the engine, something not tight enough. Some people say it the filter's fault. The filter is horizontal. If tractor sits for a few day, more than half the oil in the filter will slowly drain back the crank case. So when you start up, it takes about 10 seconds to fill the filter, 10 seconds before oil pressure builds. I've tried every filter out there. Slowly the oil will drain back. You can see the extra oil on the dipstick. Start engine and then dipstick oil level will be correct. Keep in mind, I've tried every filter out there, same issue.
To cut down on the time it takes to fill the filter, I found the smallest filter, a delco filter. It too will drain back. Because it's smaller, it takes less time to fill up on start up. I had to remove the filter to put a new starter on. Took filter off, no oil leaked out of filter.
I'm not about to take engine apart. I'm not sure it the engine's fault. I would like to see if problem goes away, but I don't have what it takes to convert back to a can. So my solution is to use full synthetic oil. Hoping it gives better dry start up protection.
There will be some who say the filter I'm using is the problem. There is something loose inside the engine. I really don't care.
My two cents. Save your money, DON'T CONVERT TO A SPIN ON.
