I would recommend using the proper JOHN DEERe brand oil filter, even if it is more expensive. Using the wrong kind of oil filter could cause a lot of damage to the mower, the repairing of which could be more expensive than buying the correct type of filter in the first place.

Of course you can use a different brand of oil filter. After all, John Deere does not make oil filters in the first place. That John Deere filter is made by another filter company and just branded with John Deere. I recommend Purolator oil filters. They make OEM filters for many companies and may even make the John Deere filter. You are just paying a premium price for the name and nothing more. Go to any auto parts store that sells Purolator filters and tell them the model filter your lawn mower uses and they will cross reference it with Purolator. Bosch, & Wix are also great filters.
