Oregon 83-283 Pack of 2 Oil Filters, Replaces John Deere AM101207 Briggs & Stratton 491056 Toro NN10147

What It Is

This is a pack of two aftermarket oil filters designed for air-cooled lawn mower engines, compatible with select John Deere, Briggs & Stratton, and Toro models. They replace OEM part numbers AM101207, 491056, and NN10147, intended for routine oil changes to keep engine debris out of lubrication.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, verify your engine’s oil filter thread size and bypass valve specs. This filter fits most Briggs & Stratton single-cylinder engines with a 3/4-inch-16 thread and a 1.5-inch gasket diameter. Check your mower’s model number (not just brand) against Oregon’s cross-reference list—common fits include John Deere D100 series, Toro TimeCutter, and Briggs & Stratton 491056-equipped engines. It does not fit Kawasaki or Kohler engines. Measure your old filter’s height (this one is 2.6 inches) to ensure clearance; some tight engine bays may require a shorter filter.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Oregon is a reputable aftermarket brand; these filters meet or exceed OEM specs, but they are not identical to genuine John Deere or Briggs filters. Expect similar performance for half the price.
• Installation: Easy DIY—drain oil, remove old filter by hand or with a filter wrench, lubricate new gasket with fresh oil, hand-tighten 3/4 turn after gasket contacts the base. No special tools needed.
• Common gotcha: The pack of two is a good value, but if you only need one, check that the second filter’s shelf life hasn’t expired (Oregon prints a date code). Also, these are for air-cooled engines only—do not use on automotive or hydraulic systems.

Should You Buy It

If you own a compatible Briggs & Stratton, John Deere, or Toro mower and want a budget-friendly, reliable oil filter for routine changes, this two-pack is a solid choice. It’s ideal for DIYers who change oil annually and don’t need OEM branding. Avoid it if you have a Kawasaki or Kohler engine, or if your mower’s manual specifies a unique filter dimension—stick with OEM in those cases.
