Well the oil arrived today. It is authentic B&S synthetic 5w30. One delivery down and one to go

Okay I got the filters today and they are indeed authentic B&S. The box has part number 696854 which is the filter my machine requires. The filters in those boxes have part number 695396. I will assume that these filters are identical and 100% interchangeable? What gives?

That may or may not be a good assumption.

Agree 100%, I would contact the seller & find out what they say. This is what we were warning you about. Sounds like a totally different filter. I would want to be sure & not bet your engine on an assumption.

I did a little research (and will be doing more) and it seems that the 695396 is the previous model filter. From what I could see the 696854 replaced the 695396. I will keep digging to see what I can find. I will be contacting the seller and will send B&S an email and hope that I get a reply. Any reply

Ok here goes. I was chatting with Katie on Briggs website. Gave her my info and she was looking things up. Then the chat went down. But while I was on their site I looked up the 696854 filter. The picture of the filter shows part number 695396. So I am sure that I have the right filters.

Did she have an answer for why the number on the filter and the number on the box don't match?

We didn't get to complete the chat. She posted she was checking things out and it stalled for about an hour. When I checked after that time it said that chat was temporarily down. But after checking out the pics I knew I was good to go.
