If your filter is like mine, it would be hard to find a compatible spin on filter. Spin on filters are typically "full flow" filters, that is they are designed to pass a lot of oil, but only filter out the bigger chunks (. The power wagon filter is a "bypass" filter. Only a small portion of the oil goes through it, but what does is filtered very well. A full flow filter is designed for a very small pressure drop - a few psi when new and maybe 10 psi when dirty. A bypass filter has a 30 or 40 psi drop across when new.
