Anyone else buy the TISCO brand oil filters from TSC? I just ordered 2 online with free-to-store shipping. I'll see if I made a boo-boo or not when they arrive.

1079179


About half the price of my local NAPA and O'Reilly Auto Parts stores.

Be interesting to see if there is any branding on the box or the filter itself- there are only so many places actually making them.Keep us in the loop Fram prices have gone crazy and they cant even supply a gasket.....
 
I am thinking about ordering some from Rock Auto. There wix filter is less than $8 and I can ship 2 for $4 putting the total cost at less than $10 a filter for 2

Did that last November.
Price then was $6.24 ea x 2, -5% Coupon, plus $2.99 USPS First Class Mail, plus CT Sales Tax (6.35%), total for 2 delivered to house = $15.79.
Price now is $7.18 ea.

And this post made me remember that the temp sensor I ordered this week for my other tractor from there I didn't use the 5% coupon! Dang it!! Well I didn't loose out too much I think it was like a $4 part, but I like to save those pennies when I can!

I also forgot about it when I was messing around on their site today. This is a good education for those of you not familiar with Rock Auto. They don't list tractors...at least I am pretty sure they don't. But they have massive inventories. If you find a part number from anything filter related you can use their part lookup. I took a wix number from the Cub and searched and found it. I have done this for the diesel fuel filters for my other tractor (a Yanmar) and found wix filters on closeout for less than $2 for it. And there $6-8 if you walk into carquest or Napa. And the other thing. There is always a valid 5% off coupon. They send them to your email if you sign up or bought from them. They give ongoing codes out to auto forums for members to use but anyone can use it. You can just Google Rock Auto 5% discount code and all the coupon sites will return one. It can be found in less than 2 minutes.

Dang I am long winded.
 
I have such a pile of Fram filters from when TSC put them on Clearance a couple years back that I won't need to order any more for decades.
 
Filters arrived. Made by Baldwin Filters and has MADE IN USA on bottom of filter. Outside canister is heavy paper; used to Wix with metal clad side.

Appears up for the job. Will give Nellie an oil change and use one.

Never heard of Baldwin Filters. History states they started in Wisconsin in 1936 and were bought out by an international group called CLARCOR.

Baldwin is too quality filters. As you see made in USA. They are big in the big truck and heavy equipment industry. That paper cladding is just like the original Case IH filter I just installed. My cousin passed it on to me that he picked up at the dealer. Not sure if that was 5, 10 or 15 years ago he got it though?

I thought you said Tisco brand filters? How can they call them Tisco if they don't at least rebox them. I know there only so many filter manufactures but usually the company makes them and puts them in their own box. Like carquest and napa filters are mad by wix. There not in a wix box but they are still made by them

I did. That’s the name they’re listed under on the TSC site. What you see in the photo is what came in the mail. No doubt TISCO doesn’t manufacture these but acts as a distributor. TISCO doesn’t literally make all the parts they sell, if any.

Just passing along what I thought was a good deal. Do with it as you want...

Oh I get what your saying...just seems weird Tisco is even Involved and that TSC just doesn't sell Baldwin filters? Just weird. They at least put their sticker on it. :lol:

Edit: I also didn't see the Tisco sticker at first.
 
Baldwin was always a quality filter company and HUGE, used for many years, they make a lot of heavy equipment stuff, I know they were sold, hope the quality is still there

With that endorsement, I'd say this may be the hidden deal-of-the-week. Remember, these are not on sale; regular price of $7.99 + tax with free shipping to your local TSC store.

I went back and looked at the website once again and noticed that several of the filters shown in the "May We Recommend" line were named CountyLine, but clearly marked Baldwin. CountyLine is TSCs name for much of there tractor products. I don't know how long TISCO and/or TSC have been using Baldwin for a filter manufacturer, but I like it.

Here's the page: https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/tisco-oil-filter-376373r91?cm_vc=-10005

The only thing left is to use these filters I bought and see how they do.

Thanks everyone for your comments. :hattip:
 
Baldwin is an old and trusted name for filters. Used them a lot in truck shops years ago. You'll have no issue with them in your tractor.

For the same money I would rather buy wix and just buy two of them off rock Auto. I am not sure if the canister filters suffer the same quality as the spin on filters they make do but I would guess the filter media is the same or very similar to some other filters they make. Which is the problem, the filter media exploding and sending it through the engine plugging up holes and causing engines to starve if oil.

This is not one of those internet wives tales and conspiracy theories that I once thought it was. Always hearing second or third had of a friend of a friend or some guy on FB or a guy on another forum etc. For y'all it is the later but I am on a chevy square body forum. There was a guy just in the last few months that lost his small block to Fram filter that exploded internally, or I guess that's imploded. I even believe it was the extreme gaurs or whatever the middle line fram not the orange one everyone complains about. He personally tore his own motor down and you can see paper fibers stuffed in the oil galleries of his motor. Normal filter change Intervals, not like he was running it 15,000 miles , this was not a race motor turning 10,000 rpm etc. Just the guys truck.

I for years resisted getting on this band wagon of don't use fram etc. My thoughts is that it's the #1 selling filter or one of the tops they sell so many filters etc. And I agree, this is probably a small percentage that does this based on the millions they sell etc. But I'm sure every filter that implodes does not take out a motor either, we never know the true number. Plus not everyone years a motor down, they may just junk that vehicle. But I honestly have not heard these stories from wix or some of the other brands. Purolator use to have a very good rap and I have used cases of them but these last few years there are many stories of torn media in them in filter cut aways. I have. It heard the engine stories etc but just seen torn filters.

I saw all this to say I don't know what my long term filter plans are now a days. But I do more often than not like the idea of wix branded or boxed filter, baldwin's and a few others.

Dang that was long.
 
It's hard to say which filter is best.
Most or all have made cost cutting moves to reduce cost. Selling or moving production to a different country.
I think Purolator made the filters for IH for a long time and perhaps Fleetguard in later years for Case/IH.
I have read about hole size problems with Wix/NAPA Gold for the Cub.
