Detailed Product Description

The Baldwin B156 engine oil filter is engineered to meet the specifications required by Honda and Acura vehicles such as the Accord, Civic, Integra, and Prelude.

The integral gasket provides a reliable seal to prevent leaks, while the M22 x 1.5 thread size guarantees compatibility with the specified vehicle models. With a height of 3 1/4 inches and an outside diameter of 3 11/16 inches, the B156 matches the dimensions of the original equipment filter it replaces, Honda part number 15400-689-004.
