Baldwin Filters B160 Spin-On HVAC Control
The Baldwin Filters B160 is a spin-on oil filter designed for full-flow lubrication systems in compatible Cadillac and GMC light-duty trucks as well as VM engines. It features a transparent housing and an M22 x 1.5mm thread for secure attachment. This component suits technicians and vehicle owners performing routine maintenance on specified applications.
Practical Limits of M22 x 1.5mm Thread
The filter carries an 18 micron rating to capture contaminants while maintaining oil flow through the system. A 20 psid bypass valve opens if the element becomes restricted, ensuring continued lubrication under cold starts or heavy loading. The anti-drainback valve prevents oil from draining back into the sump when the engine is off. Thread compatibility is limited to the M22 x 1.50 specification only.
Installation Ease and Common Issues
Spin-on design allows straightforward removal and installation using standard filter wrenches on the 3-inch outside diameter. The 3-1/2 inch height fits the designated mounting locations without modification. Over-tightening can damage the thread or sealing surface, while under-tightening may cause leaks. Always verify the thread size matches the engine block before fitting to avoid cross-threading.

Questions about this item
Should I choose the B160 or another Baldwin spin-on for my engine?
The B160 fits Cadillac and GMC light-duty trucks with VM engines that require an M22 x 1.5 mm thread.
What does the 18 micron rating mean once the filter is installed?
It captures particles down to 18 microns in the oil stream while maintaining full-flow lubrication.
How does the M22 x 1.5 mm thread affect what I can use?
It limits fitment to engines specifying that exact thread size, such as the listed Cadillac and GMC applications.
