Briggs & Stratton Air Filter 30-048

The Oregon 30-048 is a paper air filter manufactured to exact OEM tolerances for Briggs & Stratton 19 and 28 CID vertical engines. At 7-1/4 inches long, 2-7/8 inches at the wide end, 2-3/16 inches at the narrow end, and 2-3/8 inches high, this aftermarket filter delivers precise fitment without the OEM price tag.

Montana’s dusty conditions and high-altitude operation make proper air filtration critical for engine longevity. The 30-048 works with foam pre-cleaners for enhanced protection in dusty conditions — exactly what equipment needs during Montana’s dry summer construction season.

Cost-Effective Alternatives and Bulk Options

Customers appreciate the cost-effectiveness compared to genuine Briggs parts. The real value shows up in the bulk packaging options. Oregon offers both single filters (30-048) and 5-pack Shop Packs (30-820). The 5-pack weighs 2.36 lbs — light enough to stock without eating up shelf space.

eBay seller data indicates a 4.9/5 satisfaction rate for description accuracy on similar Oregon parts. That’s the kind of consistency contractors need when ordering sight unseen.

Oregon recommends their 30-926 foam pre-cleaner as an accessory. Add foam pre-cleaner (Oregon 30-926) if required — particularly smart for equipment working in Montana’s agricultural dust or wildfire ash conditions.

Oregon provides a lifetime limited warranty on these filters. Usually covered by a 30-day return policy on platforms like Amazon and eBay for additional purchasing protection.
