Oil Filter - Borg & Beck - BFO4154

It is recommended to replace the Borg & Beck BFO4154 oil filter according to your vehicle manufacturer's maintenance schedule, which is typically every 5,000 to 10,000 miles or at least once a year, coinciding with your oil changes.

The anti-return valve prevents oil from flowing back out of the filter and into the oil pan when the engine is shut off. This ensures that the filter is full of oil and ready to lubricate the engine immediately upon startup, reducing wear.

The pressure limiting valve (also known as a bypass valve) opens if the oil filter becomes clogged or if the oil is too thick (e.g., in very cold temperatures) to allow oil to bypass the filter media. This ensures that the engine doesn't run without any lubrication, though unfiltered oil is not ideal.

No, this filter is designed for specific vehicle applications. You must use the make model tool or contact us to verify fitment for your particular vehicle before purchasing.

The filter has a height of 135 mm, an outer diameter of 94 mm, and a thread size of M 26x1.5. The inner diameter is 71 mm and the secondary inner diameter is 63 mm.

The part number for this specific Borg & Beck oil filter is BFO4154.

Ensure the old filter's gasket was completely removed from the engine block. Verify the new filter gasket is clean and lightly lubricated. Tighten the filter an additional 1/4 turn by hand if necessary, but avoid overtightening.

Use a proper oil filter wrench to grip the filter securely. If stuck, try tapping lightly on the filter body with a rubber mallet to break the seal. Ensure you are turning it in the correct (counter-clockwise) direction.

Double-check the oil level in the engine. Ensure the filter is installed correctly and tightened properly. If the issue persists, consult a professional mechanic.
