Watervliet, MI, August 21, 2025 

Baxter Performance conversion kits provide spin-on filter convenience and help prevent dry starts and drain back on applications using cartridge-style filters, while making filter changes easier. They are also available with options for remote filter relocation to provide easier access.  Offered for a variety of engines, including Toyota, Ford Ecoboost, and Pentastar, these kits simplify filter changes and help extend engine life. 

“Baxter Performance provides a very effective and well-engineered answer to a significant issue for engines equipped with cartridge-type filters. Motor State Distributing is excited to make this clean and convenient solution available to our customers.” 

-Jeremy Hart, Product Manager 

 

Baxter Performance engineers and manufactures all of its products at its Spokane Valley, Washington, facility. Their adapters and remote mounting kits make it easy to convert cartridge-type to spin-on type filters and eliminate the drain-back issues common to cartridge filters, protecting the engine during cold starts. Baxter Performance also produces a special anti-drain adapter for Subaru engines with top-mounted filters. Motor State Distributing is pleased to bring this innovative line of products to its customers.
