070185D Older / shorter Grouped with B as shorter-length filters

Where it shows up

  • Air-cooled home standby Generac / Guardian-class units roughly 8–20 kW (often post-2008)
  • Some GT / GP / XG / XP portable series per dealer listings
  • Private-label air-cooled units that share Generac engines (Siemens, Centurion, etc. — verify model)

Fitment edges

  • B/D vs E/ES length differs — a “070185” search hit is not enough
  • Aftermarket Wix/Fram crosses exist in forums; dimensions and bypass calibration may differ
  • Warranty-sensitive installs usually stay on genuine Generac ES
  • Spark plugs bundled in kits (for example 0E7585 / RC12YC class) still need engine-specific confirmation
