Need a filter for your Kawasaki mower engine? This Kawasaki Oil filter cross reference guide answers two questions. What is the current Kawasaki replacement for your old filter number? And which WIX, Fram, NAPA, or Baldwin filter works instead? Kawasaki replacements and aftermarket equivalents from WIX, Fram, NAPA, and Baldwin. FR, FS, FX, FH, and FJ engines only.
What Is a Kawasaki Oil Filter Cross Reference?
A cross reference matches your Kawasaki filter number to a replacement. That replacement may be a newer Kawasaki number or an aftermarket filter from WIX, Fram, NAPA, Baldwin, or Donaldson. This matters most when your old number is no longer current or when you are comparing non-Kawasaki options.

| 49065-0734 | The current Kawasaki option is often listed as “fits most engines” | 49065-7010 | 51394, 51396 | PH4967 | 1394, 1395 |
Keep this main table simple: first, match the Kawasaki number, then compare the most common aftermarket brands. If you need additional brands, check the extra reference table later in the article.
Replacement Path Summary
Use these replacement paths to connect older filter numbers to current Kawasaki numbers:
- 49065-7007 → 49065-0721 → 49065-0736
- 49065-7010 → 49065-0724 → 49065-0734
If your old filter shows 49065-7007 or 49065-0721, move to 49065-0736. If it shows 49065-7010, check the application against 49065-0724 and 49065-0734 before ordering.

How to Choose the Right Filter?
Use this process to narrow down the right filter without guessing.
1. Check the engine model
Find the Kawasaki engine model on the engine tag.
2. Check the filter number
Look at the number printed on the installed filter if it is still readable.
3. Follow the replacement path
Match the older Kawasaki number to the current one:
- 49065-7007 / 49065-0721 → 49065-0736
- 49065-7010 → 49065-0724 / 49065-0734
4. Compare aftermarket options
After you confirm the Kawasaki family, compare WIX, Fram, NAPA, or other brands from the tables above.
5. Verify fit before ordering
Check thread size, gasket dimensions, canister size, and engine fitment if the listing does not clearly match your engine.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Avoid these mistakes when comparing Kawasaki filter numbers:
- Choosing a filter by keyword match only
- Assuming all Kawasaki oil filters interchange
- Ordering from a broad parts list without checking the engine family
- Ignoring fitment details such as thread size, gasket diameter, or canister size
- Treating an older printed filter number as the current Kawasaki order number
Verification Checklist
Before you order, confirm these points:
| Checkpoint | What to confirm |
|---|---|
| Engine model | Exact Kawasaki engine series and model |
| Installed filter number | Kawasaki number on the current filter |
| Replacement path | Whether the old number updates to 49065-0736, 49065-0724, or 49065-0734 |
| Manual or parts diagram | Matching Kawasaki filter number for that engine |
| Listing details | Thread size, gasket dimensions, canister size, and fitment notes |
| Operating conditions | Whether heavy dust, heat, or high hours justify a shorter service interval |

Frequently Asked Questions
What replaces Kawasaki 49065-7007?
The old 49065-7007 number has been replaced by 49065-0736. If you have 49065-7007 on your filter, order 49065-0736 as long as it fits your engine.

49065-7010 is on the replacement path leading to 49065-0734, with 49065-0724 appearing as an intermediate replacement number.
Are all Kawasaki filters interchangeable?
No. They are not all the same. Some numbers share a replacement path, but that does not mean every filter works on every engine. Match the number to your engine first.
How do I find the right filter for my engine?
Look at your current filter or check your manual. Then use the cross-reference table to match the number.
Can I use an aftermarket filter instead of a Kawasaki filter?
Yes, aftermarket brands like WIX, Fram, and NAPA work as long as they match your Kawasaki number and engine. But always confirm the size and fit before you order.
What should I check before buying a replacement?
Check three things. Your engine model. Your filter number. And the product listing details. Confirm thread size, gasket fit, and filter height. That keeps you from buying the wrong part.
Final Thoughts
Match the engine model first. Then check the filter number path. Then pick an aftermarket brand from that group. That approach prevents wrong orders. For aftermarket parts, FridayParts carries a broad range for heavy equipment and off-road machines.
