Baldwin Filters P7233 Automotive Oil Filter Element

Product Description

The BALDWIN FILTERS P7233 is a spin-on oil filter element designed for automotive and light-duty equipment applications. With an outside diameter of 4.75 inches and an overall length of 5.781 inches, this element-only design fits directly into compatible filter housings without requiring a full canister replacement. The P7233 is built to support high-capacity filtration, trapping wear particles before they circulate through engine oil passages. It ships complete with a gasket and O-ring, giving technicians the sealing components needed for a leak-free installation in a single package. Licensed mechanics and fleet service technicians are the primary installers of this filter.

The P7233 is suited for automotive engines and light commercial equipment where element-style oil filtration is specified. Its high-capacity media is intended to maintain oil cleanliness over standard service intervals, helping prevent premature wear on bearings, journals, and other precision-fit engine components. The element-only format is common in applications where the housing is reused and only the internal filter element is replaced at each service interval. Compatible replacement references include Donaldson P550938, Fram CH10857, Hastings LF557, John Deere RE509672, Purolator L36048, and Wix 51370.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed automotive or diesel technician. Before servicing, shut off the engine and allow oil to drain fully to reduce mess and avoid burns from hot oil. Verify the housing is clean and free of debris before inserting the new element, and inspect the included gasket and O-ring for proper seating before reassembly. Dispose of used filter elements in accordance with local waste-oil regulations.
