What It Is

This is a replacement oil filter compatible with a range of Kawasaki and Kohler small engines commonly used in riding lawn mowers, zero-turn mowers, and some tractors. It filters engine oil to remove contaminants and ensure smooth operation during mowing season.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, verify your engine’s model and the original filter part number. This filter cross-references to OEM numbers 492932S, 696854, 795890, 695396, 492932B, 492056, and 842921. It fits many Kawasaki (e.g., FR, FS, FX series) and Kohler (e.g., Courage, Command, Pro) engines found on brands like John Deere, Husqvarna, Craftsman, and Troy-Bilt. Check your current filter’s thread size (typically 3/4”-16) and overall dimensions (approx. 3” tall x 2.5” wide). Not all Kawasaki or Kohler engines use the same filter—confirm your engine’s specific part number in the manual or on the old filter. This is an aftermarket part, not OEM.

Key Things to Know

• Quality vs. OEM: This is a budget-friendly aftermarket filter. It meets basic filtration needs but may not have the same bypass valve or anti-drain back valve specs as the OEM filter. For heavy-use or high-hour engines, OEM is safer.
• Installation: Easy DIY job—drain oil, remove old filter, lubricate the new gasket with fresh oil, hand-tighten only (about 3/4 turn after gasket contact). Overtightening can strip threads or damage the seal.
• Common gotcha: Some engines have a restrictive mounting location. Measure clearance before buying—this filter is slightly shorter than some OEMs, which can help in tight spots.
• Price vs. value: At $11.99, it’s cheaper than many OEM filters (often $15–$25). If you change oil frequently (every 50 hours), this is cost-effective.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you need a low-cost, functional replacement for a Kawasaki or Kohler engine on a standard residential mower and you change oil regularly. Skip it if you have a high-hours commercial mower, a critical engine, or want the exact OEM specs—spend the extra few dollars for the genuine filter.
