Keep clean, full-flow oil circulating through your engine with the Baldwin Engine Oil Filter B228, a full-flow lube spin-on filter. It's a direct-fit replacement across a wide list of applications, including the 2020 John Deere Gator RSX 860E, 1981-1988 Audi 5000 L5-2.2L and 1966-1976 BMW 2002 L4-2.0L, plus many off-highway machines running Deutz and Lombardini engines — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
- Full-flow spin-on design: filters the engine's full oil flow and threads directly onto the mounting base.
- Anti-drainback valve: helps hold oil in the filter after shutdown so the media is charged for faster lubrication at the next start-up.
- 30 PSID by-pass valve: opens to keep oil flowing if the media becomes restricted, such as during cold starts or as the filter loads with debris.
- Specs: 3/4-16 thread, 3 in (76.2 mm) outside diameter, 3-1/2 in (88.9 mm) height, with a G449-B gasket. Related to B178 (long version). Country of origin: United States.
