Kioti Air Filter

[VictorW]

Pretty intesting! So it is washable and lifetime? How long have you used in your CK30 and do you view it as a comparable or better air filter?

I've used it since the Fall of last year. I rechecked the cleaning instructions and being that is made of a non-woven synthetic material, there is no oiling. Just clean, dry, and reinstall. This is the same construction as they use for larger vehicles such as semi trucks. Their cleaning instructions are on their website.
The rubber ends are the same as the original for fit and size. The pleats are not as close together as the original but the filter material is thicker. I put a film of oil on the inside of the filter box, engine air side, to see if any dust gets through and no dust is there. Comparable or better? - The air is clean and the filter can be cleaned and reused. As far as high dollar, one filter and one bottle of cleaner, enough for several times, is the same as a factory filter. If you needed more cleaner, something like Simple Green would work.
If you are looking for other paper filters, here's a cross to several brands; Fram CA9246, Fleetguard AF25308, Napa 6489, Baldwin RS3988, Carquest 88489, Luber Finer LAF8143, Wix 46489.

I like the KN spray oil as it catches small particles.. I use it on other filters too..There is a hand pump oil available from Graingers too for air filters..By chance would you have a cross for a Kubota air filter...TOO70-16323?? THX.

Did you ever think about using a K&N filter? It's washable and reuseable. My Kioti part number is E7230-11081 and it's made by Donaldson with their part number of P822768 marked on the end of the filter. I checked and believe that your DK40se uses the same filter. I used the K&N cross chart from their site. K&N High Performance Lifetime Aftermarket Air Filters - Automotive and Motorcycle Air Filters

This is the one I have for my CK30hst and the cheapest place to purchase that I found. K&N E-4962 Replacement Industrial Air Filter | AJUSA.com

You'll need the recharge oil and cleaner but it still ends up cheaper than the factory filters. I imagine any good grease and dirt cleaner would work in place of their cleaner. There is some down time for cleaning but at this price, you could get two and have no down time. Their site also explains how to clean the filter. Just a thought being that you mentioned the frequency that you'll need to change the filter.

Victor, K,N does not list kioti

How are they different?

Diesel engines have no throttle so air is sucked into the cylinders unrestricted. There is practically zero manifold vacuum; diesels run very lean (excess air) compared to gas engines.

Bottom line is diesels pump lots of air into the cylinders and you don't want lots of dirt going in along with it.

I looked via your Kubota number for a cross and can't find it. My Kioti part number is different than the Donaldson, manufacturer of the filter, number on the filter. Is there any other number on the filter itself?

K&N doesn't list Kioti but lists the cross by the Donaldson manufacturer number of the filter which is on the end of the filter. This is different than the part number Kioti uses for the part.

Any of these: Fram CA9246, Fleetguard AF25308, Napa 6489, Baldwin RS3988, Carquest 88489, Luber Finer LAF8143, Wix 46489, or the K&N E-4962.

Your filter element is made by the Donaldson Company unless Kioti has gone with another supplier recently. You'll find their name and their part number on the end of the filter. Cross by the Donaldson manufacturer number. Kioti's part number is E7230-11081. This filter is used in several of the Kioti models. Here's the like to Kioti part listing: OEM Parts
