KOHLER 52 050 02-S Engine Oil Filter 6-Pack - Extra Capacity Fit

In this review of the KOHLER 52 050 02-S Engine Oil Filter (6 Pack) the bottom line is straightforward: this is a practical replacement kit for owners of compatible Kohler engines who need a reliable, value-oriented oil filter with extra capacity. The reviewer found it best for routine maintenance on small engines listed in the fitment such as CH, CV, M and MV series, where the combination of a 29 micron rating and larger capacity reduces change frequency and helps protect engines under normal use. The pack of six and clear dimensional specs make it easy to verify fit before purchase.

Key Features

• Extra capacity: The filter is designed with a larger media volume to hold more contaminants between changes, which helps prolong service intervals when used as recommended.
• Known fitment: Labeled for CH11 - CH15, CV11 - CV22, M18 - M20, MV16 - MV20 and K582 replacements, which simplifies compatibility checks for those Kohler models.
• Concrete dimensions: With a 3 in outside diameter and 3 1/8 in height, installers can confirm physical fit quickly against their unit before purchase.
• Service specs: Threaded 3/4 in -16 connection and an 8-11 PSI specification make installation and pressure expectations clear for mechanics and DIYers.
• Bulk value: Sold as a 6 pack, the set reduces per-filter cost and is convenient for planned maintenance on multiple machines or seasonal servicing.

Who It's For

This 6-pack is aimed at homeowners, landscapers, and small engine technicians who maintain Kohler-powered equipment covered by the listed fitment groups and who prefer buying spares in bulk to save time and money. It is especially useful if you perform scheduled oil changes across several machines or want to keep a ready supply on hand.

Those who should look elsewhere include owners unsure of their OEM part number or model details; the listing stresses confirming model, spec, type/code and serial number before ordering. If precise micron or aftermarket media technology is critical for high-hour industrial use, comparing alternative filters with finer ratings may be worthwhile.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Good value per filter when buying a multipack for routine maintenance.
• Clear dimensional and thread specs simplify compatibility checks prior to installation.
• Works well in generators and small engines according to customer feedback, providing dependable oil filtration.

Cons

• 29 micron rating is adequate for typical use but not as fine as some high-efficiency filters; buyers needing finer filtration should verify requirements.
