Detailed Product Description

The Baldwin P172 engine oil filter is engineered to meet the filtration requirements of Leyland engines and related equipment. Its dimensions—4 7/16 inches in height, 1 5/16 inches inside diameter, and 2 29/32 inches outside diameter—ensure compatibility with specific Leyland models. The filter includes two attached end seals that help maintain a tight seal during operation, reducing the risk of oil leaks.

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Baldwin P172 engine oil filter, ensure the gaskets ({g147-a}, {g165}, and the included gasket) are properly seated to prevent leaks.
