Baldwin Filters BD103 Automotive Oil Filter

Product Description

The BALDWIN FILTERS BD103 is a spin-on automotive oil filter designed to remove contaminants from engine oil in light- and heavy-duty applications. It protects engine internals by trapping particulates before they circulate through bearings, journals, and oil passages. The BD103 features a 2-1/4 inch thread size for secure mounting and is built to OEM-equivalent standards for reliable service life. Licensed HVAC, fleet maintenance, and diesel service professionals specify this filter when performing oil service intervals on equipment where cross-compatibility with multiple OEM part numbers is required.

The BD103 is suited for use in automotive and light industrial engine applications. It serves as a direct replacement for filters originally specified by several major manufacturers and suppliers, making it a practical stocking choice for shops servicing diverse equipment fleets. Compatible systems include those originally fitted with ACDelco PF1217, Case 907101T1, Caterpillar 3I1265, Cummins 331885, Donaldson P559671, Fram PH6349AFP, GMC 25162296, Hastings LF448, International 1294153H91, John Deere RE44647, Komatsu CULF3000, Purolator PER4519, and Wix 551748.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified automotive or diesel service technician. Before replacing the filter, shut down the engine and allow it to cool sufficiently to avoid contact with hot oil. Use an appropriate filter wrench to remove the old filter and ensure the mounting surface is clean before threading on the new unit. Torque the filter by hand per standard spin-on filter practice and verify there are no leaks after start-up.
