So I'm getting ready to do an oil change and ordering my filter, wanting to use a Baldwin B1441. On line they show two with the same part number, one is gray and one is a reddish color.

Do the Baldwin oil filters come in two different colors for the same part number or is one a knock off?

And different number of holes and welds in the end.

Who'd have ever thought you'd have to inspect your filter to make sure it's genuine, but I guess scumbags will try and counterfeit anything they can. Fortunately, I have the Baldwin distributor just down the street from me which is the only place I will buy my Baldwin filters, and as luck would have it, they are also the Racor distributor in my area as well.
