49065-0721 Kawasaki OEM Oil Filter replaces 49065-7007

[7394]

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

I'll tell ya I have both these filters here, & the 49065--0724 is a very skinny filter in comparison. I will try & avoid using it. But that's just a preference.

They have the same amount of filter element in them as per Kawasaki.

Ok, Thanks for reply, It's just cosmetically anemic looking in comparison to the 0721.

rite now the 49065-0724 is all we can get so that is what we have to use and sell.

Funny if I wanted to use the 49065-721 the distributor I use warehouse has plenty but I usually just use the AM Briggs replacement filter I have in stock. Of course 636 filters might less than you need.

i had a mower company told me my filter was clog and blew up my motor and told me it will be 4500 to fix my mower thats less than a year old. that the company part will not cover because the filter was clog, but isnt that the purpose of the filter to protect the mower,

most filters have a bypass system built in to them, so if it did clog, oil will bypass the filter and continue to lube.

i took it to the shop when i got it back it was smoking

As per scrubby, all mower filters, both genuine & aftermarket have a bypass
Some auto filters don't because the bypass is built into the filter housing
So if the mower shop claimed that sent their quote to the company that makes the filters you were using.
The local Toro dealer tried that with one of my customers , I sent the details to Stens and within a week the dealer had sent a courier around to pick up the mower gratis , done a head swap ( both heads ) under warranty & returned the mower in 3 days .
I had a Husqvarna dealer try the same trick & I sent that quote to to my other wholesaler & had a similar outcome only they took 3 months to do the repairs so the owner bad mouthed them big time on Feaces Book to the extent that Husqvarna refused to renew the franchise .
