Product page Data Sheet MSDS Pertua is one of a few local oil blenders in the Philippines. Made some noise back in the 90s with their miracle in a can oil additive (reduces friction, increases mpg, quiets the engine--the usual marketing jargon). This is an unusual product since nobody really...

official website link Its a rated API CI-4/SL oil sold in a country that's still stuck on Euro4 specifications. I came across this oil in a local shop and found nothing posted about it here--or anywhere else really. It seems to have superseded the Delvac MX 10w30 in the ASEAN region. When I...

It meets WSS-M2C171-F1 and it says in the technical sheet and API website that it passes CK-4 so I plan to use it in my Isuzu Ute which calls for CH4/CI4. I have no idea if this oil is synthetic of full synthetic so I'd like to ask how long do ford truckers use this oil before changing?

It stated on the tool box it came from that its VMQ and not FVMQ which is fluorosilicone. I would prefer Viton but its what the mechanic had and its currently installed on the sensor (had the camshaft sensor o-rings replaced too as its the same size and also hard and brittle). Currently the hole...

Oil filters are changed frequently enough so I haven't seen an example of a silicone adbv break down from being submerged in oil. I don't doubt its high temperature resistance--just breakdown from being exposed to chemicals like oil (taking to account fuel dilution as well).

My 13yo Suzuki alto had its crankshaft sensor weeping a bit of oil around it. Mechanic inspected and properly deduced the o-rings are shot and replaced it with Orange silicone o-rings. Is that better than the black original o-rings it originally had? I've read that i should replace it with...

That is logical. The suzuki takes about 2.2L so I have 750ml of leftover fluid that i wont use for a long time. The OEM Suzuki 75w80 oil is spec'd for 160,000km or 10 years--supposedly "lifetime." I've just changed the trans fluid a few days ago. The Isuzu takes about 2.8L but I was able to...

Theoretically. do FWD with transaxles have different lube requirements than a standard RWD transmission? Since transaxles have the diff built in. I just want to have one lube for all my cars. Suzuki FWD car specs 75w80 gl4 and the Isuzu RWD truck specs 5w30 synchromesh type lube or...

Thanks for the correction. I might have gotten it mixed up, group 2 is hydrotreated and not hydrocracked (group 3). May I know where you've read this? It seems that it varies from manufacturer to manufacturer. According to their site Hyundai Oilbank has its own refinery which produces only...

Not exactly. Unless you live in Germany any synthetic labelled bottle can mean "part synthetic" which is why some lube manufacturers put 100% synthetic or full synthetic on their labels. Hyundai xteer puts 100% synthetic on their other bottles.

Product Page I have found no oil analysis online of this particular oil but I've found one of its brother: 5w30 Ultra Protection, API-SP Gf6 from Oil-club and its older iteration, API SN/GF5 version of the Hyundai Xteer 5w20 oil. It has a TBN of 7 and deduced via Fourier IR spectrum as a...

Posting a cut open Donaldson filter that wasn't used because it was flooded. Made in Indonesia. Kept it in storage until I learned how to hacksaw my filters a few days ago. Its a drop in filter replacement to isuzu 8-98165071-0. Comparison pictures at the end. Specs: Outer Diameter: 80 mm...

Pretty sure the Taco and my Fortuner have the same Oil filter guard. Hyundai xteer 5w30 api c3/sn. Amsoil over here just had a price increase back in december so their oils were becoming less and less practical to me. An 18L box of these Xteers was cheaper to me than 2 gallons of amsoil...

Same filter back on, I still have 2 X3600 filters remaining. Bought it at a bargain at $2 a piece. But they were 5 years old when I bought them (2017 or 2018). So These filters are probably very old by now. Still works great though.

Used on a 2012 Toyota fortuner 2.5L diesel engine for 20,000km or 2 years. Oil used was Amsoil 5w30 max duty diesel (DHD) for 10,000km then Amsoil 10w30 heavy duty diesel (ADN) for the remaining 10,000km. This fram ultra is oversized compared to the oem filter (90915-YZZD2), almost 2x longer...

nothing on the oil cap. but there's the guide under the hood to use 10w30. Manual states to use 10w30 (in bold), otherwise i can use 10w40, 15w40 and even straight 40! This engine is meant for trucks (Isuzu's fleet trucks use the same 4jj1 block). I talked to an isuzu mechanic. Told me its...

I still haven't opened up the filter (due to holidays off and got sick (not covid!) due to it). What do ya know boys and girls. After a few days of driving the dreaded clacking sounded came back, so its not the filter after all. Will be updating this thread with oil filter dissection pics...

I still have it here alongside with a fram ultra xg3600 that ran 20k km from another toyota diesel. Will be dissecting both of them soon. What should I look for? ISUZU 8-98165071-0. Cross references with Donaldson P506082. Below is Donaldson's specifications so I will assume it is within or...

It is, manual valve adjustment every 40k km

Yes its back to 10,000km/6k mi oil changes to me. Now I'm just anxious about how much wear i put on the motor since i left the filter there for approx 4 months since it started making that knocking sound.
