Baldwin B201-S spin-on oil filter
The Baldwin Filters B201-S is a spin-on oil filter built for Ford and Mazda automotive and light-duty trucks. It uses an M20 x 1.5mm thread and a 23 micron rating to trap contaminants in the lubrication system. The transparent housing allows a quick visual check of the element condition. An integral gasket is included to simplify installation and sealing.
Replaces cartridge or worn spin-on filters
This unit upgrades from older cartridge-style housings or a tired spin-on canister that no longer seals properly. The jump is worth it when the service interval calls for a fresh 23 micron element and the M20 x 1.5mm thread matches the engine block. It restores full bypass-lube flow without adapting the mounting surface.
Limited to M20 x 1.5mm thread and 23 micron rating
The filter only fits applications specifying the M20 x 1.5mm thread pitch and the stated micron rating. Builders needing a different thread size, a finer or coarser element, or a non-spin-on design cannot use this part. The integral gasket suits the factory flange but does not adapt to other sealing faces.

Questions about this item
What thread size does the Baldwin Filters B201-S spin-on filter require for mounting?
The filter mounts with an M20 x 1.5mm thread size that must match the engine block or filter head exactly.
How is the Baldwin Filters B201-S installed, and what step is often missed?
Spin the filter on by hand until the integral gasket contacts the base, then tighten the specified additional turn; skipping the gasket-contact step causes leaks.
When will the Baldwin Filters B201-S need replacement, and what indicates it?
Replace the filter at the vehicle manufacturer's recommended service interval or when the 23-micron media reaches its contaminant-holding limit.
