Detailed Description

Baldwin B74 is an engine oil filter engineered for equipment and vehicles that need consistent filtration performance and proper oil circulation. Its anti-drainback valve helps keep oil in the filter when the engine is off, while the 20 PSID by-pass valve supports oil delivery if the filter media becomes restricted. This makes the Baldwin B74 a practical choice for Land Rover Discovery, Range Rover, Defender 90, and Defender 110 service, as well as select Caterpillar, Ford, and New Holland equipment applications.

Fitment includes 1994-2004 Land Rover Discovery, 1988-2002 Land Rover Range Rover, 1997 Land Rover Defender 90, 1994-1995 Land Rover Defender 90, and 1993 Land Rover Defender 110. The Baldwin B74 part number is also useful when cross-checking OE replacement needs against Ford E8NN-6714-AA.

What It Helps Address

• Oil starvation after engine shutdown caused by drain-back
• Restricted oil flow during cold starts or extended service intervals
• Routine oil filtration needs for Land Rover Discovery and Range Rover service
• Replacement of a worn or incorrect oil filter on compatible Ford, Caterpillar, or New Holland applications
• Fitment verification for OE number ERR3340 applications
