This is an 8-pack of oil filters designed for small engines, specifically those in lawn mowers, generators, and tractors that use the Kohler 12-050-01 series filter. It’s a maintenance essential for keeping engine oil clean and extending engine life.
Fitment & Compatibility
Before buying, verify your engine’s filter cross-reference: these fit Kohler engines requiring filter numbers 12-050-01, 12-050-01-s, 12-050-01-s1, or 12-050-08. Common on Kohler Courage, Command, and Series 7000/8000 engines found in John Deere, Cub Cadet, Husqvarna, and Toro equipment. Check your owner’s manual or old filter part number—not the mower deck size. Measure thread size (3/4-16 UNF) and gasket diameter (approx. 2.5 inches) if unsure. This is an aftermarket filter, not OEM Kohler.
Key Things to Know
- Quality: Aftermarket, but rated well (4.6/5). Expect comparable filtration to OEM, but always prime the filter before installation.
- Installation: Easy—hand-tighten only (1/2 to 3/4 turn after gasket contacts). Over-tightening can strip threads or cause leaks.
- Gotcha: The 8-pack is a good value if you need multiple filters, but check your engine’s oil change interval. Many small engines need a filter every 25–50 hours.
- Storage: Unused filters should be kept sealed and dry to prevent gasket deterioration.
Should You Buy It
Buy this if you own multiple small engines using the Kohler 12-050-01 filter family and want a cost-effective bulk option. Avoid if you insist on OEM parts or need a single filter—a single might be cheaper elsewhere. Works fine for routine maintenance on non-critical equipment.
