Ganito filter ng Vic
Attachment 34767

Ganito Bosch made in Korea (phased out na ito)
Attachment 34768

Ganito na Bosch made in Indonesia
Attachment 34769

It was discussed previously na stacking disc combo filter has better filtration. Hindi ko alam if true or not. Now made in Vietnam na yata Bosch e. Which one is better? You be the judge

Pag tignan mo mga pics sa net mas marami pang pleats ang vic compared sa mga sikat na oil filter dito sa forum. Tagal ko ng gumagamit vic wala pa naman nag ka problem. Yung ten wheeler truck(hauler) sakura or daiwa oil filter lang ginagamit ko umabot ng 1million kms. Natakbo nya bago na overhaul

Doesn't mean na masmarami pleats ng filter ibig sabihin mas maganda, pano kung hindi maganda yung pagka compose ng filter material pero pinadami lang niya para mukhang maganda bali quantity over quality sort of aspect pero manipis naman yung paper filter. DAIWA is locally made in the Philippines by a Singaporean national, then SAKURA is manufactured in Indonesia by ADR group of companies.

Also if sobrang dami namang pleats sobrang sikip na sa loob ng filter partly mahihirapan narin dumaloy yung oil.

Probably the most important aspect here is the element surface area. This helps determine the amount of filter media that is available to trap particles. Cellulose media (basically paper) can trap fewer particles and can flow less oil per square inch because there are fewer passages through it. Synthetic media has more passages and can trap more particles and flow more oil than cellulose per square inch. For the same type of media, the smaller the area, the sooner the filter will become plugged and will end up bypassing much of the oil instead of filtering it. Some filters use a cellulose/synthetic blend, so a direct comparison is not possible. More pleats in the element do not necessarily mean more surface area (as you will soon see). In fact, too many pleats can end up restricting the flow too much because there is not enough space between them to allow oil to flow. Most of the cheaper filters use a mix that is mostly cellulose and/or cotton. Some of the better filters use synthetics or synthetic blends.

"Vic filter meanwhile surpasses the Replacement “Mazda” filter only in the area of the anti-drain-back diaphragm. The Vic variant’s filter-element-assembly cannot be considered to have the same quality as that of the OEM filter because of the inadequate attention given to the spacing of the pleats of the filter element, which as we’ve learned may have ramifications on oil flow. Finally, the by-pass valve on the Vic filter has the same inferior quality as that of the Replacement filter." - From an independent testing of another person.

Sorry guys but this are already facts and statistics. Not just from a word of mouth but it is done in a scientific procedure.

Please see link attached since this is from MIATA club
Oil Filter Study

I hope this can be an eye opener for you guys buying VIC brand filter.

sabi kasi dito sir ng mga experts the more pleats the better. Pag tignan mo pleats ng vic mas madami sya compare baldwin and mas refine pa yung pleats nya
