Baldwin Filters

Thanks Jacques!

 

Easy as can be.
I save the shipping by buying them from my local distributor for $10.50.

 

Dave and Jacques (and others)
I put Baldwin filters on this winter replacing the UFI filters. Service was great as mentioned.

I am not 100% sure that Baldwin's check valve system holds all of the oil in the filter over several days sitting. When I start the engine the low pressure light goes off fairly quickly, but several seconds pass before the gauge needle moves up to indicate proper pressure. I can't say that I completely remember if there was a similar delay with the UFI filters.

What do other people see with both Baldwin and UFI filters?

You can also get Mann filters from CFP for $12/each. W940/1 is the Mann P/N.

Mann are OE for Mercedes, BMW, Porsche, Audi, etc.. and are top quality and they do have anti-drainback valves. Been using them on my Ferraris for many years with zero problems whatsoever.

There is a delay in oil pressure build with my UFI filter. I believe the UFI filters will "leak" oil back past the check valve slowly over time. The check valve is a rubber flap and while it will hold the oil for a short time, it isn't going to hold the oil for days.

 

Johnny thanks, I feel better now.
