Detailed Description

Baldwin B7401 is a spin-on engine oil filter specified for select Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram applications, including 2021 Ram 1500, 2012 Chrysler 200, 2007-2009 Chrysler Cirrus, 2008-2009 Dodge Avenger, 2007-2008 Chrysler Sebring, 2007-2008 Dodge Caliber, 2007 Jeep Compass, and 2007 Jeep Patriot.

This Baldwin B7401 oil filter is built for drivers searching for a replacement oil filter for 2021 Ram 1500, a Chrysler 200 oil filter replacement, or a Dodge Caliber oil filter with OE number 4884900AB. It is also listed for a 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 application with the same OE reference.

What It Helps Address

• Oil contamination from normal engine wear and suspended debris
• Oil drain-back after shutdown that can delay lubrication at restart
• Restricted oil flow conditions that require by-pass valve operation
• Incorrect thread or seal match when replacing OE number 4884900AB
• Fitment issues on select Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram, and light-duty truck applications

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the engine uses M22 x 1.5 threads and matches OE number 4884900AB before installation. Check the sealing surface, lubricate the gasket as recommended by the vehicle service procedure, and tighten the filter to the manufacturer’s specified method. Confirm clearance around the filter canister on compact engine bays such as those found in Chrysler Sebring, Dodge Caliber, and Jeep Compass applications.

Quality Assurance

Baldwin manufactures filtration products for automotive and heavy-duty service applications, and the B7401 is built to match the listed OE reference and dimensional specifications for the confirmed vehicles above.
