What It Is

This is a combined air filter and oil change kit for Cub Cadet XT1 LT42 mowers and other models powered by Kohler 5000 Series engines (KS530, KS540, KS590, KS595). It includes the air filter (replaces OEM 22-083-01-S1), oil filter, and spark plug—everything needed for a single engine maintenance service.

Fitment & Compatibility

Check your engine model first. This kit fits Kohler 5000 Series engines only (KS530, KS540, KS590, KS595, 17–19.5 HP). It does not fit Kohler 7000 Series or other brands.
Verify deck size: Works with Cub Cadet XT1 LT42 (42-inch deck) and other XT1 variants with the same engine.
OEM vs aftermarket: This is an aftermarket kit—match the air filter part number (22-083-01-S1) and oil filter thread size (3/4-16) to your mower’s manual.
Measurements: Air filter dimensions are roughly 5.5” x 3.5” x 1.5”—confirm your existing filter fits those specs.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Budget-friendly alternative to OEM; reviews are limited (only 1 rating), so inspect filter material for dense foam and paper pleating.
• Installation: Easy—swap air filter, oil filter, and spark plug in under 30 minutes. No special tools beyond a socket wrench and oil drain pan.
• Gotcha: The spark plug gap may not be pre-set—check and adjust to 0.030” before installing.
• Oil not included: You’ll need to purchase SAE 30 or 10W-30 separately (about 1.5 quarts for most Kohler 5000 engines).

Should You Buy It

Buy this kit if you own a Cub Cadet XT1 with a Kohler 5000 Series engine and want a low-cost, all-in-one maintenance pack. It’s best for routine service (every 50 hours or yearly) and saves you from hunting down three separate parts. Skip it if you need OEM-specific components for warranty reasons or if your engine is a different series.
