Baldwin Filters B7243 Automotive Oil Filter M20x1.5

Product Description

The BALDWIN FILTERS B7243 is a spin-on automotive oil filter engineered for engine lubrication systems where consistent filtration and reliable sealing are critical. It threads onto the engine block via an M20x1.5 thread, making installation and removal straightforward for technicians using standard filter removal tools. The B7243 weighs 0.725 pounds and is suited for professional shop use or fleet maintenance applications. Licensed mechanics, diesel techs, and fleet service professionals rely on this filter type to protect engine internals from particulate contamination between oil change intervals.

The B7243 is designed for use in automotive and light-duty applications that call for an M20x1.5 thread spin-on oil filter. It serves as a direct cross-reference replacement for several common filter part numbers, making it a practical stocking choice for shops that service multiple vehicle makes. It fits applications where the Donaldson P502009, Fleetguard LF16224, Hastings LF565, or Wix 57092 filters are currently used.
