Baldwin Filters B474 Spin-on Oil Filter 3in Od

Product Description

The BALDWIN FILTERS B474 is a spin-on oil filter designed for automotive and light-duty engine applications. It removes contaminants and wear particles from engine oil, protecting internal engine components during normal operation. The B474 measures 3 inches in outside diameter and 3.531 inches in overall length, with an M16x1.5 thread for secure installation. It ships with a G449-B I gasket included. Licensed technicians and experienced DIYers performing routine oil service install this filter as part of scheduled engine maintenance.

The B474 is suited for automotive engines requiring a compact spin-on oil filter with M16x1.5 thread engagement. It fits applications where Donaldson P502568, Fleetguard LF3964, Fram PH7202, Hastings LF350, or Wix 51032 filters are specified, making it a direct cross-reference replacement for those part numbers. It is appropriate for residential and light commercial vehicle maintenance across a range of engine types that share this thread and dimensional profile.

Confirm no oil leaks are present after refilling and running the engine to operating temperature.
