Oregon 83-013 Oil Filter Replaces Briggs & Stratton 492932S, Kohler 28 050 01-S, Kawasaki 49065-7007

What It Is

This is an aftermarket oil filter that replaces OEM filters for Briggs & Stratton, Kohler, and Kawasaki engines. It’s designed for lawn tractors, zero-turn mowers, and other small engines requiring a spin-on oil filter, not push mowers.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm your engine’s OEM filter number: Briggs & Stratton 492932S, Kohler 28 050 01-S, or Kawasaki 49065-7007. This filter is not universal—check your engine model (e.g., Briggs Intek, Kohler Courage, Kawasaki FS/FR series). Measure the thread size (3/4"-16) and gasket diameter (approx. 2.3") to match. It fits most 20-30 HP engines, but avoid it for small vertical shafts under 15 HP. Compare overall length (about 3.5") to ensure clearance in tight compartments.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Oregon is a reputable aftermarket brand—meets or exceeds OEM specs for filtration and burst strength. No known fitment issues reported.
• Installation: Easy spin-on, hand-tighten only (½ turn after gasket contacts). No special tools needed.
• Common gotchas: Double-check the gasket stays seated during installation. Some users report it’s slightly shorter than OEM, but this rarely affects function. Not for use with synthetic oil if the engine manual specifies a different filter.
• Price/value: At $10.99, it’s typically $3-5 cheaper than OEM equivalents. Rated 4.7/5 from over 1,000 reviews—consistent performance.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you need a reliable, budget-friendly replacement for the listed Briggs, Kohler, or Kawasaki engines and want proven aftermarket quality. Skip it if you prefer OEM-only parts for warranty reasons or need a longer filter for high-debris environments.
