4 Pack 52 050 02-S Oil Filter Replacement for Kohler 52 050 02-S1/ 52 050 02/ 5205002S/ kh-52-050-02-s, Compatible with Kohler CH11-CH25, CV11-CV22, M18-M20, MV16-MV20, K582, SV725 Lawn Mower Engines

What It Is

This is a 4-pack of oil filters designed to replace the Kohler 52 050 02-S, 52 050 02-S1, and 52 050 02 OEM filters. It’s intended for Kohler Command, Courage, and other series engines commonly found on residential and commercial zero-turn mowers, lawn tractors, and generators.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm your engine model. This filter fits Kohler CH11–CH25, CV11–CV22, M18–M20, MV16–MV20, K582, and SV725 engines. Check the engine’s model number (e.g., CH20, CV730) stamped on the valve cover or near the oil fill. These are spin-on filters with standard 3/4"-16 threads and a 3.5-inch height. Measure your old filter’s diameter and thread size to be safe. Not compatible with Kohler KT, ECH, or Command PRO engines using a different filter thread. Cross-reference with OEM part numbers 5205002S, KH-52-050-02-S.

Key Things to Know

• Quality is typically aftermarket but meets OEM specs for oil flow and micron filtration. Some users report slightly lighter construction than genuine Kohler filters.
• Installation is straightforward: hand-tighten only (about 3/4 turn after gasket contacts). Over-tightening can strip threads or damage the gasket.
• Common gotcha: ensure you drain the oil and replace it with the correct viscosity (typically SAE 30 or 10W-30) after filter swap.
• 4-pack means you’ll have spares for seasonal changes. Replace every 50–100 hours or annually, whichever comes first.

Should You Buy It

If you own a Kohler Command or Courage engine in the listed series and want a budget-friendly, bulk option for routine oil changes, this 4-pack delivers reliable filtration at a fraction of the OEM price. Best for DIY homeowners or small-shop operators who maintain multiple compatible engines.
