Detailed Product Description

The Baldwin B421 engine oil filter is engineered to meet the filtration requirements of various Isuzu automotive models. Its anti-drainback valve prevents oil from draining out of the filter when the engine is off, ensuring immediate oil flow upon startup. The 14 psid by-pass valve allows oil to bypass the filter element if it becomes clogged or during cold starts, preventing engine oil starvation. With a height of 2 27/32 inches (72.2 mm) and an outside diameter of 3 inches (76.2 mm), this filter fits precisely on compatible Isuzu vehicles. The M20 x 1.5 thread ensures secure installation, and the included integral gasket provides a reliable seal to prevent leaks. This filter replaces the original Isuzu part number 8-94430-411-1, making it a direct replacement option for maintenance and repair.
