Oil Filters
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.

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.
