Baldwin B196 Spin-On Oil Filter
The Baldwin B196 is a full-flow spin-on oil filter designed for Cummins engines. It uses a 1 1/2 inch -12 thread size and includes an integral gasket with an integral post seal. The transparent housing allows visual inspection of the filter element. This filter serves heavy-duty applications requiring reliable lubrication protection.
12 Micron Rating Filtration Limit
The filter media carries a 12 micron rating, capturing particles at that size threshold during full-flow operation. This rating defines the practical limit of contaminant removal for this specific element. Finer particles below this size will pass through the media and circulate within the engine oil system.
Simple Thread-On Installation
Installation requires threading the filter onto the 1 1/2 inch -12 mounting stud until the integral gasket contacts the base, then tightening by hand according to standard practice. The integral post seal and gasket eliminate separate sealing components. The most common issue is cross-threading the large-diameter threads or insufficient tightening, which causes oil leaks under pressure. Over-tightening can damage the gasket or make removal difficult.

Questions about this item
Should I pick the 12 micron version or a different filtration rating?
This filter carries a 12 micron rating, so choose it when your engine specification calls for that level of particle capture.
What does the 9 15/16 in height mean once the filter is installed on the engine?
It sets the overall installed length at 9 15/16 in, so confirm the engine bay has that much vertical clearance before fitting.
How does the 1 1/2 in -12 thread size limit which engines I can use this on?
The 1 1/2 in -12 thread mates only with matching Cummins engine mounts, so it caps fitment to those specific applications.
