49065-0721 Kawasaki OEM Oil Filter replaces 49065-7007

I did read your post about Walmart in your area not carrying Wix. My Bad..

That is a big filter you have listed there.

O'reilleys here are crazy on pricing certain stuff. It is my last resort.

no problem,
51394 is for Kawasaki FE 290

I frequent tractor supply often, they carry Purolater... What do you think about them?

Fine print in every manufacturers parts list is they retain the right to change the specifications of parts without notice.
And again it is a lawn mower.

nearly all of my customers end up with a Briggs large filter on their mowers because they think a bigger filter is going to be better.
I can only just barely get my head around filter media & I gotiot taught to me as part of a 1 hr a week for 13 weeks subjext so Joe Public would have no idea.
This has been confirmed by the hundreds of U- tube videos put up my monkeys who learned how to open one up then prove they have no idea about what they are looking at.
Looks like Rotary use the Briggs short as a substitute for the 49065-7007 https://www.rotarycorp.com/search?q=49065-7007
Stens also sell the same filter https://www.stens.com/120-485-oil-filter

Now both of them warranty their filters and any damage that can be attributed to using them in place of any filter number listed against them
I have had 2 kawasaki warranty claims where the dealer tried to pull the wool over the customers eyes with "the after market filter voids the warranty"
I called the rep and the next day it was "dop it off & we will have it back in 3 working days, do you require a loan mower ?"

This exact scenario just happened to me except I just had to pay $100 to pick my zero turn up. To add insult to injury the said they left the key on over the weekend. So I dropped it off with just over 100 hours and picked it up with 210 hours!!! Ugh he kept calling me cheap for using this filter too, man I was getting frustrated! I’m lost now as to what to do! I can’t just accept I’m screwed as an answer

I'd run away from wherever you took your mower as fast as possible.

So start a new thread with your exact problem and what has happened to date
Lots of dealers on this site who can advise you what course to follow.
If they are claiming that an after market filter caused the problem then write a nice letter to the filter maker.
However if they do not list your filter as a replacement for the original filter then you are on your own.
This is why I always advise people to buy and fit after market filters from a mower shop
A quick line from Stens, Prime Line, Oregon or Rotary will get results as they guarantee their filters and also guarantee that fitting them will not void warranty.
Different story if you go to Auto Zone and buy whatever Wix / Fram / house brand filter that some one other than the filter maker put on a cross refference then you are on your own.

I did! And the owner who dealt with my machine just happened to be on vacation for the rest of that week when I picked it up… I brought it directly to a different dealer from there. like bertsmobile1 suggested I’ll start a new thread

Kawasaki only has two filters 49065-0721 an 49065-0724 they are completely interchangeable as long they will screw on the oil filter housing and nothing interferes with the fit.
