I have Twin Disc gears (nothing special, MGX, behind 660hp QSM11s) and it is time for the 1,000 hour fluid (30 weight oil) and filter change (Twin Disc part number PX-11653). The dealer's price is shockingly high $267.33 each (plus tax and shipping). I don't remember paying that much previously. I would be consider using a Baldwin or other quality after-market filter, but no one has any cross-reference numbers. If I thought there was something special about the filter, I wouldn't feel so bad, but as it is I can't help but feel that I am being fleeced. So, doesn't anyone know of a better source, or after market equivalent? Or some good reason that the price is fair? (My mechanic, or perhaps ex-mechanic, said that I am a "rich" guy and should just suck it up.)
