Technical Details and Compatibility

The BT223 differential oil filter is designed with an attached gasket to ensure a tight seal and prevent leaks during operation. It contains an anti-drainback valve that helps maintain oil pressure and prevents oil from draining out of the differential when the engine is off. Additionally, the 8 psid by-pass valve allows oil to bypass the filter element if it becomes clogged, protecting the differential from oil starvation.

This filter fits a broad range of vehicles, including popular models such as the BMW 318i, 320i, 325i, and 525i, Chrysler Caravan and Town & Country, Dodge Dakota and Ram, GMC Sierra, Saab 9-3 and 9-5, Saturn Vue, Suzuki Samurai, and Toyota Tacoma and 4Runner. The precise dimensions and thread size ensure compatibility with these models and others listed in the fitment guide.

Applications and Problem Solving
