What It Is

This is a combo kit containing an air filter (698754/499486) and an oil filter (696854) designed for Briggs & Stratton Intek Extended Life Series V-Twin engines (18–26 HP). It’s a drop-in replacement for OEM filters on John Deere L100-series lawn tractors (L120, L111, LA135, L118) and similar models using those engines.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Engine fitment: Briggs & Stratton Intek Extended Life Series V-Twin, 18–26 HP (single-cylinder Intek engines are not compatible). Cross-check your engine model number (e.g., 44N877, 40H877) against OEM part numbers 499486, 499486S (air filter) and 696854 (oil filter).
• Tractor fitment: John Deere L120, L111, LA135, L118, plus many other brands (Craftsman, Husqvarna, MTD) that use the same Briggs V-Twin engine. Verify your deck size and model year—fits most 42"–54" decks.
• OEM vs aftermarket: This is a non-OEM aftermarket kit. Air filter dimensions: ~5.5" x 3.5" x 1.5" (pre-formed foam/paper). Oil filter: 3.5" tall, 2.75" diameter, 13/16"-16 thread. Measure your old filter to confirm.
• Before buying: Remove your current air filter and oil filter. Check if the air filter has a pre-cleaner foam wrap (this kit includes it). Verify oil filter thread pitch and gasket diameter—mismatch can cause leaks.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Consistent 4.5-star rating (358 reviews) – users report good fit and sealing. Foam pre-cleaner is washable/reusable; paper element is disposable.
• Installation difficulty: Easy – 5–10 minutes. Air filter: remove cover, swap element, replace cover. Oil filter: drain oil, unscrew old filter (hand-tighten new one ¾ turn after gasket contacts), refill oil. No special tools needed.
• Common gotcha: The oil filter may be slightly shorter than OEM Briggs filter – fine for clearance, but ensure it’s snug. Do not overtighten (can deform gasket). Air filter must be seated fully to avoid unfiltered air intake.
• Combo value: Buying separately costs ~$18–$22; this kit saves ~$3–$7. Good for annual maintenance.

Should You Buy It

Yes, if you own a Briggs Intek V-Twin 18–26 HP engine (especially on a John Deere L-series tractor) and want a reliable, budget-friendly filter kit for routine oil changes and air filter swaps. Avoid if you need OEM-branded parts for warranty reasons or have a non-Intek single-cylinder engine.
