Hastings have a perfect replacement available, with bypass and check valve inside. Will work on 308/328/and BB. |

Henry -- I should clarify (if your BBi uses 8-cyl filters) since I don't know the mounting arrangement. As Peter said below:
if your filters mount gasket end up -- B252 or B253 is OK.
if your filters mount gasket end down -- B253 is the better choice IMO. |

Henry -- I'd be very surprised if your BBi uses something strange (you'd think the issue would have come up here before if it does). 2 ways to confirm:
1. The easy way -- What's the PN for the UFI filters you use on your BBi? If it matches up with the 8-cyl UFI PN you'll know the B252 or B253 is OK. (I have the 8-cyl UFI number as 100325 or 111782, and recently changed to 191993)
2. The hard way -- I've emailed the dimensions of the B253 to you that I received from Baldwin -- if you measure the male thread and flange ID/OD on the car you can confirm the fit.
(I sure wish the TR used the 2 "normal" filters rather than the 1 oversized special filter. It's still on my list to send a TR filter to Baldwin to see if they have an industrial equivalent -- but it's not at the top of the list.) |

best is to contact baldwin or the dealer and give them the fram oil filter number / or UFI and they can cross match it. Hows that |

Go to Balwin filters on the internet. Then go to Baldwin Distributors. Type in zip and you will find your nearest dealer. |

Would the Baldwin B253 also work on the BBi? Is this a readily available filter......like in any local auto store?
Thanks. |

Drew,
Been using the B253 on my 365bb for 20 years now, without any problems...

You could use a B252 instead (same as the B253, but without the standpipe for "normal" installations), but there is no problem using the B253 in this application.
TR's use a totally different thread and gasket size that doesn't match any standard in the industry. |

I need to change the oil on my 512BB this weekend. The local truck supply place stocks the Baldwin B253. Fairly cheap vs. UFI, which is what I had been using. After reviewing all the search threads, I could not find any reference to where anyone was using these on a Boxer or TR. I know the Boxer filters are the same as the 308. Does anyone see a problem with using this filter on a Boxer? Remember it is installed from the bottom of the engine, open side up, 180 deg from a 308. |
