   I purchased two of these filters for my commercial zero turn with a Kawasaki FX 600v and they arrived as pictured in the Kawasaki box and with the sticker on the filter. However my original engine factory filter had no sticker but had stamping on the filter saying Kawasaki and 49065-7007. I suppose this filter s an OEM filter it says USA made and Kawasaki on the sticker, and came in the Kawasaki box. I am not too worried it appears to be an OEM filter from what I can tell but I do know however that the OEM filter has a 25/30 micron filter media so anything less isn’t filtering the oil to factory specs, and I would do exactly the same as some others have done, I would send it back if I had received anything different. This is a popular small engine filter and you can find them online that are true genuine Kawasaki OEM even cheaper but you just have to do the research.Shortly after I made this purchase I found online a professional commercial mower and engine supplier for my blades, belts, and everything else related to my mower, who only sells OEM or else it is stated on the website this part or filter or whatever the item, is not OEM, and if it is not even their OEM replacement items are of acceptable or equivalent quality and at a significant reduced price, I just ordered a mulch kit and replacement blades and specified OEM. They checked and they only sell OEM for the parts I ordered and assured me the items I would receive would be OEM factory parts, so I order from them and their genuine OEM Kawasaki filter 49065-7007 is 5.99 at this current writing and 5.45 in bulk of 12 or more. That’s a deal for the commercial guys. It looks and appears to be OEM from what I can tell, If what you receive is the same filter as the item pictured. I found no problem with this filter and I would order again if I would ever need to. The genuine Kawasaki OEM filter ordered from the professional parts co. Who sells OEM Kawasaki filters also has a sticker and looks the same as this one. Why my original factory OEM Kawasaki filter that came with my brand new mower had printing on the filter and not a sticker I don’t know why…….? I hope the filters with the stickers are OEM. Hmmmm! ……..I may need to research that. Anyhow….I posted pics of what I received and I have no worries. I feel perfectly comfortableI in their ability to adequately filter since I change my oil and filter way sooner than the recommended interval. Therefore even if I found out that the filters with the stickers and not the printing are not OEM then I still am not sending them back. I just would not purchase them again since my primary preference is the Kawasaki OEM.

   I use these filters on my Husqvarna 23 horsepower 54″ cut Z254 zero turn mower. No issues with them at all. It’s a perfect fit. I haven’t cut one open, yet, and I’m not sure who makes the filter. What I mean by that is when you buy a “Kawasaki” filter or “Motorcraft” or “AC Delco” filter, those aren’t the companies that actually make the filters. They are usually made by Wix or Purolator and tend to be a mix of, say, a Purolator plain and Purolator Plus, for example.Best place to check out all oil related subjects is bobistheoilguy forums. People love to post used oil analyses and show pics of cut open filters so you can see if it’s cardboard holding the filter together (Fram, yuck) or metal (Purolator/Motorcraft/Wix/AC Delco) and also lets you see the material that the anti-drain back valve is made of.But, yeah, these filters seem to be just what the doctor ordered. And remember, when using filters that aren’t made by the company for your engine, bigger is ALWAYS better. You can hold more oil and you get more filter material.That’s why the old Toyota truck guys use Motorcraft FL1A filters (which are LARGE filters for the 302/5.0 Ford engines).
