Yeah many filters can fit the same vehicle folks, The biggest thing that matters is the gasket mounting area and the bypass valve setting. You can always go a bit bigger on your filter. Most people have that extra bit of oil left over after a oil change, your still getting charged for it so you might as well get a larger filter and use it up.Last edited by dvldoc; April 20th, 2011 at 08:41 PM.

Better filtration is better filtration no matter what vehicle, Just use the filter that matches yours in specs or you can even go slightly bigger. Those with 3/4 16th thread have better options of using the synthetic fiber versions which will give you much less engine wear and extended oil changes on synthetic or you can just keep the same intervals if you want.
Unfortunately the stealerships are PITA with there bs warranty rules, There is no way not using there low quality oil filter should void your warranty but anything they can do to force you to use them I guess.

April 21st, 2011 08:55 PM #174I agree I would rater use an industrial filter for non industrial application besides Manila environment is pretty harsh too so better use industrial grade materials.
Hmmm.... can we get a bit off topic?: how about air filters?? We all know Manila is one of the dustiest/dirtiest places in the world

Paper air filters work better for filtering dirt and dust

April 21st, 2011 11:16 PM #176looks like it is better to get paper filters and just change it often. I was pretty surprised in how dirty the air filter got in roughly 3mos (my usual change oil interval) it made me think of putting a pre cleaner on a snorkel (vehicle is an SUV) but the distributor of fleetguard doesn't carry it here

regarding the article sir Dvldoc....Specifically the KNN filter
We all know that when we replace the OEM filter with KNN there is an instant increase in performance(there is quite a high demand on this filter)....But that does mean that the instant performance gain would sacrifice the engine's durability in the long run because the inability of KNN to efficiently filter dirt and dust?Last edited by locoroco777; April 22nd, 2011 at 04:21 AM.

Your engine will inhale more dirt and dust, you can't have big gains in airflow without sacraficing that fact. But will it cause any measurable harm to your engine, No not really. I have run them for years on different vehicles. I moved away from them for no oiled filters like Somota, They are cheaper flow almost as well and I don't have to oil them. Not paying 3000P for a air filter.
But to each his own, I normally throw the stock airbox in the garbarge on any vehicle I own and do a conical air filter. I have not used a paper air filter since like 1990.
Here's what K&N says about their filtration. http://www.knfilters.com/efficiency_testing.htm
By the way the old panty hoses air filter pre-clearner trick is cheap and works very well in high dust enviroments.
Can go on over the filter or in the tube.

Re: Air filters these are some "real world" tests I've read about from BITOG:
Air filter filtration test

Air filter flow test
http://bobistheoilguy.com/cms/index....d=61&Itemid=70
No free lunch I guess, these "real world" tests seem to support common sense, that more flow = less filtration and vise versa.

All the more reason for a good oil filter, That extra dirt is going somewhere and most likely your oil. No down side to better filtration.
