Extended Product Information
FAQs
What does the "BFO4158" part number signify?
The BFO4158 is the unique part number assigned by Borg & Beck to identify this specific oil filter model. It helps in ensuring correct fitment and compatibility.
How often should I replace this oil filter?
Refer to your vehicle manufacturer's recommended maintenance schedule for oil filter replacement intervals, which is typically every 5,000 to 10,000 miles or annually, whichever comes first. Always use the specified interval for your vehicle.
What is the purpose of the anti-return valves?
The anti-return valves (also known as check valves) prevent oil from draining out of the filter and back into the oil pan when the engine is shut off. This ensures that the oil galleries remain primed, and immediate lubrication is available upon the next engine start, reducing wear.
Does this filter meet OEM standards?
Yes, the product description states that this oil filter meets OE specification requirements, indicating it performs to the same standards as the original filter installed by the vehicle manufacturer.
What is the thread size of this filter?
The thread size for the Borg & Beck BFO4158 oil filter is UNF 3/4"-16.
What are the physical dimensions of the filter?
The filter has a height of 97 mm and an outer diameter of 79 mm. It is a spin-on type filter.
Is a special tool required for installation?
While installation is by hand-tightening plus a final turn, a standard oil filter wrench is typically required for removal of the old filter and may be needed for final tightening if hand-tightening is insufficient, though hand-tightening is preferred.
Troubleshooting
Oil filter is difficult to remove.
Ensure you are using the correct size oil filter wrench. If the filter is severely stuck, penetrating oil applied around the gasket edge (avoiding the mounting surface) may help. Be cautious not to damage the engine block.
New oil filter is leaking after installation.
Verify the filter was tightened correctly (hand-tight plus 3/4 to 1 turn). Ensure the old gasket was completely removed from the engine block and that the new gasket is properly seated and lubricated. Re-tighten slightly if necessary.
Oil pressure warning light remains on after oil change.
Check the engine oil level; it may be low. Ensure the new oil filter is correctly installed and has a good seal. Verify the correct oil viscosity is used. If the issue persists, consult a mechanic as there may be an unrelated oil system problem.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility:
Before purchasing, verify that the Borg & Beck BFO4158 oil filter is compatible with your vehicle's make, model, and year. Check the product specifications against your vehicle's manual or consult a parts database. Cross-reference part numbers if necessary. Known compatible references include ACDelco X 4335 E, ALCO Filters SP-1350, and BOSCH 0 26 407 079.
Installation:
- Ensure the engine is cool.
- Safely raise the vehicle if necessary.
- Locate the old oil filter and place a drain pan beneath it.
- Using an oil filter wrench, carefully unscrew and remove the old filter. Allow any residual oil to drain.
- Clean the filter mounting surface on the engine block with a clean cloth.
- Lightly lubricate the rubber gasket on the new Borg & Beck BFO4158 filter with fresh engine oil.
- Screw the new filter onto the mounting surface by hand until the gasket makes contact. Then, tighten it an additional 3/4 to 1 full turn by hand, or follow the specific torque recommendation if provided.
- Lower the vehicle.
- Refill the engine with the correct type and amount of new oil.
- Start the engine and check for leaks around the filter. Allow the engine to run for a few minutes, then re-check the oil level and top up if necessary.
Care:
Oil filters are designed for single use and should be replaced at the manufacturer's recommended service interval, typically during an oil change. Do not attempt to clean or reuse the filter. Dispose of the old filter responsibly.
