My cars don't see 3K miles in a year. I change every 6 months before summer and then before winter and I would run either. Personally I like a bigger filter if I can run it so I would probably go with the Baldwin simply on that factor.
Excellent comparison! Both look like excellent choices. This comparison was a close one...I think it comes down to personal preference... I would gladly use either filter with no worries.. Great video! 👍👍
My Friend... you are the Bob Ross of oil filters. Your videos are informative, fun and at the same time... strangely soothing, lol. (Bob Ross... the painter. Remember him?) Great to be subscribed! 👍🏼
Another great video, thanks for doing these disections of oil filters. Just so we know what's inside, before we buy. Great info, but please wear gloves when handling oil!
Thank You, I dont handle the oil for that long and wash my hands right after I'm done recording. I hope it doesn't bother anyone, I'll give the gloves a try. We'll see what happens.
Hard to say with this one... Baldwin much larger obviously more surface area better filtration but inlet holes small and nitrile rubber versus silicone. Also Baldwin used loovers versus holes and Wix had mesh backing. I think if Baldwin upgraded to mesh larger inlet holes and silicone anti drainback valves theyd be superior. Id go with Wix this time. 👍
The area of the inlet openings is more than enough for the throughput of this filter. Second: on this car, the filter is installed with holes to the top, so an anti-drain valve in this case is not needed at all !!!
@@Andrew__Smith Yep I understand, Manufactures recommend a certain size but sometimes other bigger filters will fit. I'm not sure why they do this? I'm guessing it's easier to say this one filter fits all these cars? My daughter's car calls for a Fram 6607 but the larger 7317 oil filter fits. So that's what I put on her car.
Oop's sorry forgot to mention it, Pretty sure it's paper and here you will find a micron rating ph.baldwinfilters.com/baldwin/en/baldwin-spin-on-lube-filters
@@WhipCityWrencher Thanks. But it doesn’t say if it’s synthetic media. I will only use a synthetic media filter, so if I can’t confirm, I won’t use Baldwin. Although, I like that it’s bigger than Wix with more media, I’ll stick to Napa Platinum or Fram Ultra or Purolator Boss.
@@BW-kv9wj I can't find any documentation right now, websites are constantly changing their specs. But I'm pretty sure it's a paper media, if I find anything I'll post back, I may have something on some saved files.
@@BW-kv9wj the badwin is using a cellulose media. the reason the wix has the wire backing is that the synthetic needs the support or it will disintegrate. I didnt pay for your engine, so i dont want to tell you what to do, but there really isn't a reason to only use synthetic media filters over cellulose except for preference. one isnt inherent better than the other of they are built correctly. I would guess that even though the baldwin has way more media area, the capacity is only slightly better just looking at size. That synthetic is going to catch a lot more dirt per square inch but there is a lot more paper.
This isn't an exact filter comparison. The Baldwin 1431 is an over sized filter. Baldwin 1402 would be the direct comparison to the Wix 51356. That being said, Baldwins are very good filters for the price.
I would always use the largest that will fit. In a few of my trucks, the 2WD have a longer filter than the same in 4wd because the front shaft is in the way..
Thanks for all that you do. Both are really good filters. I would use them on any equipment any where. I was surprised by the wire backing on the wix. I thought wix had done away with the wire backing? Maybe an older filter? Thank you!
Ignore those sparkles. Remember you cut those metal covers apart, so I would bet any metal you see is from you cutting those filters apart. Also think about this. Thicker media is not always best. Oil needs to pass through efficiently and if the media is too thick, it may struggle to do its job. I will stick with my go to Wix filters.
That's not a date code
Sure it is, the Wix was made on Oct.20th, 2018 and the Baldwin was made on Sep.16th, 2019.
I’d probably go with the Baldwin because of the extra filter media and lower price but I’d have no problem running both

You're Welcome!
Thanks for your feedback!👍
Other than the sloppy glue, the Baldwin looks superior for half the price.
Wix all day!
It’s odd they look so different for the same vehicle. The wix and baldwin for my car have the same outside dimensions.
👍 Thanks!!!
You're Welcome!😊
► Oil Filter Friday, watch a New Automotive oil filter inspection video every Friday on this TH-cam channel.
Yes, both seem like good filters! Thanks for another great video! 👍
Thank You!😊
, You're Welcome! 🙂
Well Baldwin for the amount of filter
They both look like good filters.I really like the wire backing on the WIX.💪
Yes, I do too😊

I like that OCI, I may try that.
I run between 4 to 5K miles a year and have been doing 1 yr OCI's.
Switch to 1 year. Even on conventional. Send a sample to Blackstone and you will see you are fine.
Great review. Both excellent filters.
Thank You!
I agree both look good😊
Excellent comparison! Both look like excellent choices. This comparison was a close one...I think it comes down to personal preference... I would gladly use either filter with no worries.. Great video! 👍👍
Thank You!😊🙌
I would probably choose the Baldwin only because it has a little more volume and more filter media. Good video!
Thank You!😊
Who sells Baldwin oil filters?
My Friend... you are the Bob Ross of oil filters. Your videos are informative, fun and at the same time... strangely soothing, lol.

Never heard of him.. 🤦
Oh Yes, I remember Bob Ross.
Thank You! I'm flattered being compared to him. I use to watch him all the time.👍🙌😊
@@WhipCityWrencher lol... okay Whip. I watched him all the time as a kid.
Take care.
@@skrimper hey Bruce. He was a painter on TV. Kind of a cool, laid back hippy. His paintings were amazing. Check him out on YT.

@@jerryjeromehawkins1712 👍
Thanks to your videos on them I just got a NAPA Platinum (AKA the XP) filter for my well used 09 Accord. Seems like I made a good purchase :)
Thank you for your work sir! With cars having timing chains ⛓️ again it's super important to change our filters and oil. 👍 Thanks
You're Welcome!
Thanks for watching and for your feedback.👍🙌
even filters after they"duked it out".great test again thanks.!👍🌚.
Thank You👍🙌😊
Another good video! They both look like they held up pretty good!
Thank You!
Baldwin makes a decent filter as well as WIX
👍
Did they both have synthetic media?
I'm pretty sure the Baldwin uses a paper media.

@@Andrew__Smith Correct. The restriction is the media.
Great video, FYI: The Baldwin Filters website says the cross of Wix 51356 is B1402.
Thanks,
If that's the case I guess he was using the wrong oil filters.
@@WhipCityWrencher No. *B1431* is a _longer version_ of a *B1402* . In this vehicle you can install even much longer filter ~ 250 mm or 10 inches.
@@Andrew__Smith Yep I understand, Manufactures recommend a certain size but sometimes other bigger filters will fit. I'm not sure why they do this? I'm guessing it's easier to say this one filter fits all these cars?
My daughter's car calls for a Fram 6607 but the larger 7317 oil filter fits. So that's what I put on her car.
@@WhipCityWrencher Baldwin has a number of longer “long life “ filters. Their B2 filter fits Land Rovers but is much longer.
@@jamescaron6465 Thanks for Sharing!
You mentioned Wix had synthetic media but you didn’t mention what kind of media for the Baldwin.

No any reason use B1402 instead B1431 in this vehicle.

Wire shit is bad less flow of oil
Thanks for all that you do.
Both are really good filters. I would use them on any equipment any where.
I was surprised by the wire backing on the wix. I thought wix had done away with the wire backing? Maybe an older filter?
Thank you!
You are Welcome!
Yes I think it is an older Wix filter
I only buy wix
Ignore those sparkles. Remember you cut those metal covers apart, so I would bet any metal you see is from you cutting those filters apart. Also think about this. Thicker media is not always best.
