FAQs

Is this a spin-on or insert-type filter?

The BFO4144 is an insert-type filter designed for specialized filter housings.

What are the dimensions of the BFO4144?

It measures 158 mm in height, with a 46 mm outer diameter and a 21 mm inner diameter.

How do I confirm this fits my vehicle?

Please use a vehicle compatibility lookup tool using your car's make, model, and engine code to ensure it matches.

Should I lubricate the seals before installation?

Yes, applying a light coating of fresh engine oil to the filter seals is recommended to ensure a proper seal.

How often should I replace this oil filter?

You should replace the filter according to the oil change intervals specified by your vehicle manufacturer, typically every 5,000 to 10,000 miles.

Troubleshooting

Oil pressure warning light remains on after installation

Verify the filter is seated correctly in the housing and that the housing cap is tightened to the manufacturer's specified torque.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Over 100 years of Borg & Beck engineering pedigree
  • High-efficiency media traps even the smallest particulates
  • Maintains engine oil integrity for extended intervals
  • Precision-engineered dimensions ensure a tight, secure seal

Cons

  • Not compatible with spin-on style oil filter housings
  • Requires manual verification of vehicle compatibility
  • Requires specific tools to access filter housings on some vehicles

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Proper installation is critical for the BFO4144 filter. Because this is an insert-type filter, ensure the filter housing is cleaned thoroughly of all old oil and debris before installing the new unit. Always lubricate the O-ring seals with a small amount of fresh oil to ensure a proper, leak-free seat.

Compatibility is verified by checking the specific engine code and vehicle model against the manufacturer's catalog. Do not attempt to force the filter into a housing that does not match the 46 mm outer diameter or 21 mm inner diameter specifications. Always follow your vehicle owner's manual for recommended oil change intervals to maximize the lifespan of both the filter and the engine.
