49065-0721 Kawasaki OEM Oil Filter replaces 49065-7007

Just saw our Kawasaki rep and was told they could not get the 49065-0724 filter any more and had a new different no. that would replace it. Don't know the part no. off hand but said the oil ring was round and not square cut like the 49065-0724 filter. Seems like there was something else but don't recall just now.

I use a FRAM TG4967 or STP S4967 on my Kawasaki Mule. It should work if there’s enough room. It is a little longer than the others.

Thanks MParr- I'm stocked up, just was curious about the oil filter change by Kawasaki.

They probably just changed the supplier

I think for awhile Fram was making the Kawasaki filters..

It’s possible. I know that Kohler oil filters are currently made by Champion Labs.
Here’s a video that may help explain things. All four of the Kawasaki oil filters are made by Champion Labs. Manufacturing and materials have evolved. Champion Labs is now owned by First Brands. First Brands now own FRAM as well. You will start seeing technology from both companies come together.

Is this legit ? I can't get any info off the Kawasaki engine site.

Been using OE 49065-7007 since day 1, now filters I have coming are said to be 49065-0721.

Here's a list of filters that will work,
WIX 57035 32 micron (2.3 tall)
WIX 51056 21 micron (2.7 tall) 51348 (3.4 tall)
WIX 57148 5 micron (3.4 tall)
PH8170

I for one use the WIX 57148, much better than the OEM filters, Cheers, Ray
