2 Pack 499486 Air Filter Replace for BS 499486S, 5063, 5069, 695667, 698754 OEM Air Cleaner Cartridge with 273638 Pre Filter Fits Lawn Mower Air Cleaner Element

What It Is

This is a 2-pack replacement air filter set (main filter + pre-filter) for small engines on lawn mowers, tractors, and zero-turn mowers. It protects the engine from dust and debris, extending engine life.

Fitment & Compatibility

• OEM replacements: Fits Briggs & Stratton part numbers 499486S, 5063, 5069, 695667, 698754.
• Check your engine model: Look for a stamped code on the engine shroud (e.g., 12A-xxx, 12B-xxx, 12M-xxx). This filter fits many single-cylinder B&S engines from 2000 onward.
• Measure before buying: Main filter is approximately 5.5” x 4” x 1.5”. Pre-filter is about 4” x 3” x 0.75”. Verify your air filter housing dimensions.
• Not universal: Does not fit Kohler, Kawasaki, or Honda engines unless cross-referenced.

Key Things to Know

• Dual-layer design: Main foam filter traps large particles; paper element catches fine dust. The pre-filter (273638) extends main filter life.
• Installation is simple: No tools needed—just remove old filter, clean housing, and press new one in. Takes 2 minutes.
• Common gotcha: The pre-filter is foam, not paper. Don’t oil it unless your engine manual specifies it (most B&S engines don’t).
• 2-pack value: At $12.39, you get two complete sets—costs less than a single OEM filter.

Should You Buy It

Yes, if you have a Briggs & Stratton engine that uses one of the listed OEM numbers and you want a reliable, budget-friendly replacement. Perfect for seasonal maintenance or keeping a spare on hand. Avoid if your engine uses a different filter shape (e.g., round or larger rectangular).
