Briggs & Stratton 5W-30 (2 Quarts) Full Synthetic Engine Oil Change Kit with 696854 Filter and Fuel Treatment

What It Is

This is a complete oil change kit for Briggs & Stratton engines, containing two quarts of 5W-30 full synthetic oil, a 696854 oil filter, and a bottle of fuel treatment. It’s designed for routine maintenance on Briggs & Stratton single-cylinder lawn mower engines, including walk-behind mowers, riders, and zero-turns.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, verify your engine uses the 696854 oil filter (cross-references to OEM filter 492932S, 691034, or 797416). This kit fits most Briggs & Stratton engines with a spin-on oil filter, typically on models with 12.5–17.5 HP. Check your engine model number (printed on the valve cover or blower housing) to confirm it uses 5W-30 synthetic oil—most Briggs engines from the 2000s onward do, but older engines may require SAE 30. Not compatible with engines using a cartridge filter or no filter (e.g., small push mowers). Measure the filter diameter (approx. 3.5 inches) and thread size (3/4-16) before buying if you’re unsure.

Key Things to Buy

• Filter quality: The 696854 filter is OEM, with a built-in anti-drainback valve and high-efficiency media. It’s a direct replacement for most Briggs engines.
• Installation difficulty: Easy—drain old oil, replace filter (hand-tighten only, then 1/2 turn), fill with 2 quarts. The kit includes fuel treatment to stabilize gas for storage.
• Common gotchas: The 5W-30 synthetic is thinner than SAE 30—do not use in engines that specify 10W-30 or 15W-50. Overfilling can cause leaks; check dipstick after warm-up. The fuel treatment is a one-time dose; don’t reuse the bottle.
• Price vs. value: At $41.85, it’s pricier than buying oil and filter separately (about $28), but the convenience and OEM guarantee may justify it for a single change.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you own a Briggs & Stratton engine that requires a 696854 filter and synthetic 5W-30, and you want a single, guaranteed-compatible kit with fuel treatment for off-season storage. Skip it if you prefer non-synthetic oil or can source cheaper generic equivalents (e.g., an aftermarket filter and separate 5W-30) for less.
