FAQs
What is the primary function of this oil filter?
Its primary function is to remove contaminants from the engine oil, such as dirt, metal particles, and sludge, thereby protecting the engine's internal components and extending its lifespan.
What does the anti-return valve do?
The anti-return valve prevents the oil from draining out of the filter and back into the oil pan when the engine is shut off. This ensures that oil is immediately available to lubricate the engine upon startup, reducing wear.
What is the bypass valve opening pressure?
The bypass valve opens at 2.4 bar. This ensures that if the filter becomes clogged and oil flow is restricted, oil can still bypass the filter medium to reach the engine, preventing oil starvation.
How often should I replace this oil filter?
You should replace this oil filter according to your vehicle manufacturer's recommended service interval, which is typically every oil change or as specified in your owner's manual.
Can I use this filter on any car?
No, this filter is a specific replacement part. You must verify its compatibility with your vehicle's make, model, and engine before installation. It cross-references with many other part numbers, so confirmation is key.
What are the main dimensions of this filter?
The filter has a height of 210 mm, an outer diameter of 91 mm, a thread size of 1" 12 UNF, a gasket outer diameter of 72 mm, and a gasket inner diameter of 62 mm.
Is this filter a direct replacement for Baldwin B236?
Yes, this Bosch oil filter F 026 407 234 cross-references with Baldwin B236, among many other part numbers.
Troubleshooting
Filter leaks after installation
Ensure the old filter's gasket was fully removed and not double-gasketed. Check that the new filter is hand-tightened to the recommended specification. Verify the filter mounting surface on the engine is clean and undamaged.
Difficulty removing the old filter
Use a proper oil filter wrench. If the filter is very tight or stuck, apply a penetrating oil around the base and let it sit for a few minutes before attempting removal again. Be cautious not to damage the engine block.
Filter does not fit thread
Confirm you have the correct thread size (1" 12 UNF for this filter). Double-check the filter's compatibility with your vehicle's specific engine.

- Cleaning the filter mounting surface on the engine block.
