Product Identity
The Baldwin Filters B168 is a full-flow spin-on oil filter designed for Takeuchi equipment and Yanmar engines. It fits applications requiring an M20 x 1.5mm thread size and a compact 5-3/32 inch height. This new component serves maintenance crews and fleet operators needing reliable lubrication filtration.
Thermal and Flow Characteristics
An 18 micron rating captures fine contaminants while maintaining proper oil circulation through the system. The integrated 8 psid bypass valve opens under high restriction to prevent oil starvation during cold starts or heavy load. An anti-drainback valve retains oil in the filter housing for immediate pressure at startup.
Included Hardware Benefits
The transparent housing allows visual inspection of element condition without removal. Both valves are factory-fitted, eliminating separate installation steps and reducing leak paths. The spin-on design enables quick service intervals using standard tools on the 3 inch diameter canister.

Questions about this item
How do I fit the M20 x 1.5mm thread spin-on filter and what step is often missed?
Screw the filter onto the M20 x 1.5mm thread until the gasket contacts the base, then tighten the specified additional turn; the step often missed is pre-filling the canister with clean oil so the anti-drainback valve works immediately.
What replacement interval applies to the 18 micron full-flow spin-on element?
Replace the filter at every engine oil change or at the interval the equipment manufacturer specifies for the Takeuchi or Yanmar application; the 18 micron rating does not extend the service life beyond that schedule.
At what pressure does the 8 psid bypass valve open during sustained high-load operation?
The built-in bypass valve opens at 8 psid, allowing oil to circumvent the 18 micron media when the pressure differential across the filter reaches that limit.
