2 Pack Oil Filter Replace OEM 52 050 02-S, 25 050 27-s, 20715100, 531307392; For Kohler CH11-CH25, CV11-CV22, M18-M20, MV16-MV20, and K582 Engines

What It Is

This is a 2-pack of aftermarket oil filters designed for Kohler Command, Courage, and other small engines found on lawn tractors, zero-turn mowers, and generators. It replaces OEM part numbers 52 050 02-S, 25 050 27-S, 20715100, and 531307392.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Engine models: Confirmed fit for Kohler CH11-CH25, CV11-CV22, M18-M20, MV16-MV20, and K582 engines. Also fits some older K-series and Magnum models.
• What to check: Verify your engine’s exact model number (stamped on the valve cover or blower housing). Compare the filter’s thread size (3/4"-16 UNF) and gasket diameter (about 2.5 inches) against your current filter. Measure the filter length—this one is roughly 3.5 inches tall; ensure clearance in your mounting location.
• OEM vs aftermarket: This is a non-OEM filter. It uses a standard cellulose media and a silicone anti-drainback valve. Performance is comparable to OEM for typical oil change intervals.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Rated 4.8/5 across 57 reviews. Users report no leaks or fit issues on common Kohler engines. The silicone anti-drainback valve prevents dry starts.
• Installation: Easy hand-tighten only (about ¾ turn after gasket contacts). No tools needed. Pre-fill the filter with oil before installing to reduce engine wear.
• Common gotcha: This filter is slightly shorter than some OEM versions (e.g., the 52 050 02-S). If your engine has a deep filter housing, check clearance—it fits most, but not all deep sumps.
• Intervals: Replace every 100 hours or annually, whichever comes first. For heavy use (commercial mowing), change at 50 hours.

Should You Buy It

If you own a Kohler Command, Courage, or K-series engine and want a reliable, budget-friendly oil filter for standard maintenance, this two-pack is a solid choice. It’s ideal for DIY homeowners and light commercial users who don’t need OEM branding. Skip it if your engine requires a specific high-capacity or extended-life filter (check your manual).
