Baldwin B5088 Coolant Filter
The Baldwin B5088 is a spin-on coolant filter rated at 25 microns for heavy-duty diesel engines. It fits Caterpillar and Cummins applications using an 11/16-16 thread. The cartridge includes a G381-A integral gasket for a direct seal.
Sustained filtration performance
The 25-micron media captures fine particulates that circulate continuously in the cooling system. Without chemical additives the element relies on mechanical retention during extended service intervals. Consistent flow is maintained as the filter loads with debris over time.
Installation and common issues
Spin-on design threads onto the 11/16-16 mounting base by hand and tightens with a standard filter wrench. The integral gasket eliminates separate seal placement. Cross-threading the fine threads or over-tightening can damage the housing or cause leaks.

Questions about this item
How much power does the B5088 coolant filter draw when the engine runs all day?
The B5088 is a passive spin-on filter with no electrical components, so it draws no power and generates no heat or noise during operation.
What thread size must the existing filter head have for this B5088 to install correctly?
The B5088 requires a filter head with an 11/16 in.-16 thread to match its integral G381-A gasket and spin-on design.
Will the 25-micron rating of the B5088 protect older Caterpillar and Cummins engines the same way as the original filter?
Yes, the B5088 is specified for Caterpillar and Cummins engines and its 25-micron rating provides the same particle-capture level as the original equipment filter.
