Detailed Product Description

The Baldwin B202 engine oil filter is engineered to provide effective filtration for engines in vehicles such as the Ford Ranger, Mazda B2200, Dodge Ram 50, Mercury Lynx, and Mitsubishi Mighty Max. Its anti-drainback valve prevents oil from draining out of the filter when the engine is off, reducing wear during startup.
