What oil filters are available?

This list shows oil filters which are a direct replacement for the Kawasaki unit sold by dealers. Most are around half the price of the Kawasaki filter. These part #'s were checked in July, 2007, and are believed to be accurate. Should you have any doubt, check your store's cross-reference list.

• Amsoil: SMF 101 (No longer available. Replaced by WIX 24941.)
• CarQuest: CFI-89941
• Emgo: 10-37500 (includes O-rings) 10-20300 (doesn't have O-rings)
• Fram: CH6012
• Hastings: LF571
• Honda: 15410-426-010 or 15410-300-024
• Kawasaki: 16099-003
• K&N: KN-401
• NAPA: PS4941 (formerly) 4941
• Perf-Form: OF-0047 (formerly J-501)
• Purolator: ML16812
• STP: SMO-12 (Once readily available, now appears to have been discontinued.)
• Triumph: 1210031
• Vesrah: SF-4004
• WIX: 24941
• Yamaha: 36Y-13441-00

At least one of these filters will be available at any reasonable auto parts store, such as AutoZone, Pep Boys, Schucks/Kragen/Checker, NAPA, Wal-Mart, etc. This is not a common part, so they may not always be in stock. Plan ahead. The two O-rings for the filter should be included. Check the box.

If you can't find these brands at your favorite auto parts store, check to see if they have a cross-reference chart for the brand of filters they carry; most filter manufacturers do. Cross-reference their brand to one of the filters listed above.
