22 083 01-S XT1 LT42 Air Filter Oil Change Kit Compatible with Kohler 5400 Series Maintenance Kit Cub Cadet XT1 LT42 Enduro Series Lawn Mower Air Filter Kit with 12 050 01-S Oil Filter Parts

What It Is

This is a three-piece maintenance kit containing an air filter, oil filter (12 050 01-S), and spark plug designed specifically for Kohler 5400 Series engines found on Cub Cadet XT1 LT42 Enduro Series lawn tractors. It bundles the three most common 100-hour service items into one purchase.

Fitment & Compatibility

Critical checks before buying:

• Engine: Must be a Kohler 5400 Series (not 5000, 6000, or 7000). Verify your engine model number on the valve cover or shroud.
• Mower model: Fits Cub Cadet XT1 LT42 Enduro (42" deck). Not compatible with XT2, XT3, or older LT models without the same engine.
• OEM vs aftermarket: This is an aftermarket kit, not genuine Cub Cadet parts. The air filter (22 083 01-S) and oil filter (12 050 01-S) are direct replacements for OEM parts.
• Measurements: Air filter measures roughly 6.5" x 3.5" x 2". Oil filter is standard spin-on type (3/4-16 thread). Spark plug gap should be set to 0.030" before installation.

Key Things to Know

• Quality concerns: With a 3.6/5 rating and only 18 reviews, some users report the air filter foam is less dense than OEM, potentially letting in more debris. Inspect fitment closely.
• Installation difficulty: Easy – 15 minutes with basic tools (socket wrench, screwdriver). No special skills required.
• Gotcha #1: The spark plug may arrive pre-gapped incorrectly. Always check gap with a feeler gauge before installing.
• Gotcha #2: If your mower has over 200 hours, consider replacing the fuel filter separately – this kit doesn’t include one.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you’re doing your first or second 100-hour service on a Kohler 5400-equipped XT1 LT42 and want a single, low-cost kit for convenience. Skip it if you need OEM-grade filtration for heavy commercial use, or if your mower has a different engine series – the fitment is narrow. For the price, it’s adequate for light residential cutting.
