Detailed Product Description

The Baldwin BT8409 engine oil filter is specifically designed to meet the filtration needs of the 2011 Mazda Tribute and various industrial equipment brands such as Case, Komatsu, and New Holland. Its anti-drainback valve prevents oil from draining out of the filter when the engine is off, reducing wear during startup. The 14 psid by-pass valve ensures continuous oil flow even if the filter becomes clogged, protecting the engine from oil starvation. The filter’s integral gasket provides a reliable seal to prevent leaks, and its dimensions—3 17/32 inches in height and 3 inches in outside diameter—are engineered for proper fitment. The 4-mar thread size ensures compatibility with the specified vehicles and equipment.
