Remote bypass oil filtration

**dvldoc** · February 7th, 2012 09:51 PM

Looks like a pretty solid oil, but that depends on what your using it for, for a diesel engine I would use something with a better API rating. especially if it's a older diesel. Zinc is 1002ppm and Phos 920ppm and 7ppm boron great oil for a gas engine though. and TBN of 9.8 is not bad but most Diesel oils are 10 and higher. I would not use it in a vehicle that does not have roller lifters like most older diesels do.

But as I said perfect for any modern gas engine.

Plus far less flow since it has fewer holes for flow. The overseas Bosch are not the same quality as the US made filters. Would be interested on what that looks like cut open.

Thanks Doc. Good to know I got genuine Baldwins.

I have the Bosch oil filter now on the Pajero Gen 2.5. Since it's not that good I'll stick to just 4,000 km OCI for now. Will extend it to 8,000-10,000 km with the Baldwin BD 28.

Also got today from Superior Motors 2 Wix oil filters - a 51515 for the LC 80 and a 51348 for the LC 100. I'm now collecting oil filters like you Doc. Hehe.

Doc, for the LC's I've been using Mobil 1 High Mileage Fully Synthetic oil. API rating of SL/CF. Is this a good oil? What Group/Class does it belong to? On a Toyota OEM oil filter + Mobil 1 HM FS oil I do a 6,000km OCI. Can I extend this to 12,000 km OCI with the Baldwin, Fleetguard, or Wix filters? Thanks.

dvldoc there is a cut open picture of bosch oil filter a few pages back. its also a locally bought oil filter. i will try to look for the oil filter part number of the 4M40 engine for the Royal Purple oil filter counter part. and have it shipped here nalang

Hi CB. I do send my Mobil 1 oils via Balikbayan box. From time to time I also include Castrol/Mobil 1 Hypoy/Hyphoid Gear oils for my rigs differentials. No issue naman. I use either Manila Forwarders or Alas. Been doing this since 2002. Charge is about $70 for the jumbo box. I have a friend in LA who gets the oils from Walmart (in 4.73 liter/5 quart bottles) and he packs it properly in the Balikbayan box. The forwarder then picks up the box from his house and ships it to my Manila address.

Shipping takes about 4 weeks on average - delivered straight to my house. Takes longer during the Christmas season. HTH.

Hi. Airlines do not allow oils even sa checked in luggage. Don't ship it on line. Ship it via a jumbo Balikbayan box. I'm able to get 9-10 bottles (4.73 liters/5 quarts per bottle) + at least 10 to 15 one liter bottles of gear oils into one jumbo Balikbayan box. Cost of the jumbo BB is only $70. So the value equation is still very good. The Mobil 1 FS oil in 4.73 liter/5 quart bottle cost only about $20 in Walmart stores - that's only P900 for almost 5 liters.

Any feedback to W&L? Do they sell fake fleetguards like Pacer?

**dvldoc** · February 8th, 2012 12:26 PM

Well the fake Fleetguards are rampant, You just have to inspect what they are selling before you buy it.

**mcbry** · February 8th, 2012 06:18 PM

doc, i'm currently using RP 10W-40 for my altis. what oil would you recommend as an alternative for RP? i'll be using BT223 for my next oil change (10000kms OCI). thanks.

Yes sir, but still best if you fit in a longer casing. Remember the longer the flow upward the better chances of leaving behind those oil droplets.
