2-1/4" Oil Filter 492932S 492932 795890 695396 492932B 492056 696854 842921 Compatible with Kawasaki Kohler Lawn Mower 5076 492056

What It Is

This is a spin-on oil filter with a 2-1/4" diameter and 3/4-16 thread, designed for air-cooled lawn mower engines—specifically Kawasaki, Kohler, and select Briggs & Stratton models. It filters engine oil to remove contaminants and prolong engine life, commonly used in residential zero-turn mowers, riding tractors, and walk-behinds.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, check these specifics:

• Thread size: Must be 3/4-16 UNF (standard for small engines). Measure your old filter’s thread diameter if unsure.
• Dimensions: 2-1/4" diameter, ~3.5" tall. Confirm clearance in your engine compartment—some tight mounts may need a shorter filter.
• OEM cross-references: Replaces Kawasaki 49065-7001, Kohler 12 050 01-S, and Briggs 492932S, 492932, 795890, 695396, 492932B, 492056, 696854, 842921. Fits engines like Kawasaki FH, FS, FX series; Kohler Courage, Command, and 7000 series; and some Briggs Vanguard.
• Check your owner’s manual: Look for the filter part number or engine model (e.g., Kawasaki FH601V, Kohler CH740). This filter is NOT for small push-mower engines (e.g., 140cc–190cc) that use a smaller filter or no spin-on.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: This is a budget aftermarket filter. It meets OEM specs for micron rating (typically 25-30 microns) and bypass valve pressure (~8-12 psi). Good for standard oil changes, but not as robust as premium filters (e.g., OEM or Wix) for heavy-duty use.
• Installation: Easy—spin on by hand until gasket contacts, then tighten 3/4 turn. No tools needed. Pre-fill with oil before installing to prevent dry starts.
• Common gotchas: Check the gasket diameter—some aftermarket filters have a slightly smaller gasket that may not seal on older engines. Also, if your engine uses a filter adapter (common on Kohler Courage), ensure this filter’s thread length matches (typically 3/4-16, ~0.5" thread depth).
• Oil capacity: Using this filter adds about 0.2–0.3 quarts to your engine’s oil capacity. Adjust fill accordingly to avoid overfilling.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you need a reliable, low-cost replacement for routine oil changes on a Kawasaki or Kohler lawn tractor or zero-turn mower, and you’re comfortable with aftermarket parts. It’s not for heavy commercial use or engines requiring a specific high-efficiency filter (e.g., Kawasaki FX series with high-pressure systems). For most homeowners, it’s a solid value at $9.89.
