Does anyone have any tricks to getting this to seal without over tightening?

make sure that the rubber seal from the old filter comes off with the old filter when you remove it. occaissionally the rubber seal will stick on the mounting surface, especially if it is a first time change. once you have checked that , pour a little splash of NEW oil onto the new filter a little can go inside but you are doing this so you can put your index finger in the oil that sits on top and then smear it around in a complete circle covering all of the new oil filter's rubber seal. now you are ready to put on the new filter. hand tighten and then turn one quarter turn more. i have been doing this for 40 years and never had one leak yet. other advice- buy an oil filter pliers like this - https://www.amazon.com/TEKTON-5866-12-Inch-Filter-Pliers/dp/B000NPR33O don't waste your money on other kinds of oil filter wrenches

Will this work in place of the 28 050 01 ? Thanks

Are these kohler filters? the picture has none of the printing on them like my oem kohler filter does.

The box mine came in says Kohler 12 050 01-S on it and is bar coded, so I presume it is a Kohler filter. There are no markings on the filter itself. I presume the "S" indicates it is a slightly shorter filter which allows it to fit on the engine I have that has a side-mounted filter that just fits against the mower frame. I have had no problem with the filter fit or operation.

Will this model (12 050 01) substitute for 52 050 02? I thought I ordered the right #, but I received this part instead.

the Kohler engine manual shows that you could have either. the12050 01s is 2 1/2 in. the 52 050 02 s is 3 3/8 in, I think it depends on whether you have clearancefor the longer filter. I stayed with the original number to be safe.

Proper factory replacement for my Cub Cadet XT2 Lawn Tractor

I was looking for the direct Kohler replacement oil filter for my Spring tune-up on the Cub Cadet XT2. I reviewed my previous Amazon purchases and found I had ordered this one previously. I was concerned as it indicated "Stens" but pictures showed "Kohler". Given the pics and my previous purchase I gave it a shot and sure enough everything appeared correct. It shipped simply in Amazon bubble mailer and did not have a box for the filter, just a round clear plastic cover for the side that connects to the mower. Sticker on the filter indicates Stens but branding on the filter itself does appear to be genuine Kohler as was the one being replaced. Went on easy and no issues with using as should.
