Thank you very much for trying to track down a decent reply from them. It does sound like the OEM filter maybe the safest route to go at the moment. I was able to find one or two filters for sale on the web that said would fit, but who knows if there are going to be the pressure type that Hydro-Gear says that they have to be. Thank you again for checking into this as I greatly appreciate it. Cheers.
Thankyou for the info Steve when you do open one up let us know what you find out.The automotive filters are designed for pressure..The pump sucks oil from pan to pump then generate pressure around 80 lbs.+/-...Then thru the filter to the oil galleries..
The filtering element inside the metal jacket are warped by screen so the element don't blow apart and clog the galleries...
On the Hydros..the filter is on the pickup before the pump so the filter is working negative pressure..(sucking)..so the filtering element is made different then the automotive types..
Maybe also the element material is way different too..and the flow thru the element/screen is the opposite protection..??
I didn't open one up yet to see what's in it and compare between auto vs hydro types..I got two - three months before oil/filter before I open the old filter and peep..
If you do it before me,,Get some pictures and post..
I bought a Husqvarna GTH26V52 last year that has a Hydro Gear G730 transmission in it. Rather than having to pay top money for the OEM oil filter for this transmission, I looking for a cross reference to Frame or Wix for this filter. Does anyone know if there is such a cross reference number? Thank you.
