Yes, the Baldwin B50 is absolute (98.6667% efficient aka Beta Ratio of 75) at 15 microns, the P550050 is 45 microns. I don't know the full range of beta's for a FL1995 is it is possible it is more efficient at below absolute efficiency but I honestly have no idea. One of the most frustrating things about filters is that just cause something cross references to another filter doesn't mean they perform the same. For example, the OEM spec a CR 5.9 Cummins fuel filter is 7 microns, however many auto parts store fuel filters, that cross reference to the OEM filter, are 10-22 microns, which at 25,000 psi of fuel pressure can lead to issues. On the other hand the Baldwin PF7977, which crosses to the OEM filter, is 5 microns.
Can he use the B50 on the mount he purchased? What filter or filters do you like in this application? I'm thinking a 10-15 absolute micron rating since the wear metals (5-7 micro size) will show on a UOA. But I could be missing something here................
Ouch. Maybe I got bitten by a non-equivalent cross reference It is listed as a bypass filter, so why would it be such a poor micron rating, would be sort of useless? Except maybe the lower flow will filter better?
I wouldn't go so far as to say it would be useless cause the other betas could be better than the full flow. If it isn't practical to return it I would run it for an OCI and see how it goes via a UOA.

Yes, the thread and baseplate are the same so it will fit.
