What It Is

This is a pack of two oil filters designed for Kohler 7000, 5400, CH18-CH25, and CV18-CV25 series engines, commonly found on Cub Cadet XT1 LT42 and similar lawn tractors. It replaces OEM part numbers 12 050 08 and KH-12-050-01-S.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, verify your engine is a Kohler 7000, 5400, CH18-CH25, or CV18-CV25 series. Check your current filter’s part number—it should match 12-050-01-S, 12 050 08, or KH-12-050-01-S. This filter fits Cub Cadet XT1 LT42, XT2, and many other tractors with these engines. Measure the thread size (3/4”-16) and gasket diameter (approx. 2.5”) to confirm physical fit. It is an aftermarket replacement, not OEM Kohler, but meets OEM specs.

Key Things to Know

• Installation: Easy—hand-tighten after filling with oil, then 1/4 turn more. No special tools needed.
