Baldwin B7443 off 2016 Ram 1500 5.7L. Ran for 8411 miles on this last change. Looked to have held up pretty well. Pleats looked good, no issues I could see. Nice coil spring, pretty happy with it. Switched to these recently after seeing Wix cutting corners on perceived quality features to save a buck. Used my new filter cutter I got of eBay.

Looks good. Thanks for the C&P. Can you post a link on eBay for your oil filter cutter?

Oil Filter Cutter. If your filter has a protruding lip, you may have to clearance the cutter so that your filter easily rolls on the rollers. Quickly & easily open filter. Razor sharp cutting wheel.

So, in the name of science, I have a FRAM Ultra XG2 here with a dent in it that I'm not going to use so I've decided to cut and post. I've previously used a sawsall to cut them open and it's a huge PITA, so I bit the bullet and bought the Proform oil filter cutter tool...

Seems like a lot of companies put their name on that cutter. Several on Amazon look to be identical. I got mine from Jegs.
Looks good. What went back in and on? Also, where do you buy your Baldwin filters? Thank You
Another new Baldwin went on, I think got these from Zoro.com at the time for $5 each. They had some shipping deal at the time that if bought enough stuff it all shipped for $5 so I grabbed a couple for the shelf among a few other filters.Looks good. What went back in and on? Also, where do you buy your Baldwin filters? Thank You
Baldwin makes good stuff! FYI, Advance Auto Parts sells Baldwin as a ”Carquest Premium HD” for some applications too-I have a couple 84060HD filters on deck for the Express 6.0 in my sig.

I'm ready to be beaten...Baldwin

There a good constructed filter the filtering specs are very subpar.
I've used this exact filter a few times! Nice C&P I order them from ZORO!
Baldwin makes a tough filter, but the efficiency isn't the greatest. They hold up well, though. Their HPG and MPG filters are better, the B ones are basically rock catchers (75% @ 24 microns).
