Appreciate much your inputs Doc. Had checked my friend's Montero Sports and it all used the Denso 186100-6080 fuel filter as well. Actually checked my colleague's rigs as well and all uses the same type of fuel filter. Even some well known auto parts stores also gives out the Denso type when asking which one is fitted for the MS.
Don Cross of Baldwin also confirmed that the BF7535 is the cross for the Denso 186100-6080. Tried to check the thread pattern and it really seems that the BF7534 would fit also as the BF7535 3/4-16 thread is only 0.068" smaller than the M20-1.5 thread of the BF7534. It will only boil down to the the maximum pressure the fitting can withstand.
Sadly, will need to wait until mid-January to get this all tested. No more stocks from Volmax for both.
seems like there was somekind of buying frenzy that hit volmax....
called them a month(mid october) before I got my fuel filter to confirm availability, told me it was abundant then suddenly now its out of stock...![]()
BTW here's another proof that the fleetguard I got was a Knock off!
heres the fake one when it was still new with its box
here's an original one, I got this pic from EBAY its being sold for 24$
if you look at it closely even the size was quite different...the fake being the bigger and the smaller one is the original...
and notice the markings on the filters? BALIKTAD!!! hahaha! I do hope you understand the word doc![]()
You'd be the judge!
and the boxes, hehehe the knock off was too nice! and the original was simple but it has the MADE in USA text that made all the difference![]()
There is a size difference because what I pointed out a few post back, that is not a dual element filter it should be a full flow and have just one filter element in it. The fake also appears to be fluted which the original is not.
Shame on those who sell fake Fleetguard filters clear your bad stock and replace it with filters from the manufacture your supposed to be the official dealer for.
Fleetguard has now updated there site to put new images of their filters that are in adobe flash and you can rotate them 360 degrees and see every angle and side of the filter they did it to make fakes easier to spot.
Cummins Filtration - Catalog - Catalog Map just enter your filter number and take a peak.
Yeah Volmax is selling the Baldwins left and right, at least more people know about getting good filters hoped they ordered enough on there next shipment to keep up with demand.
For you ZD30 Patrol guys and Elgrands Baldwin does make a filter for you as well.
Baldwin P7365
Compare to vic and OEM

sir,
parehong pareho na strada natin, from the oil, oil filter all the way to the fuel filter.heheheheh
thanks to you and dvldoc for this thread and i wad able to decide on switching to baldwin filters, lower price but better quality.
im luck i just live 1 minute walk from volmax.
4M40, 4M41 AND 4D56 guys can also use the BD7028 if they are out of stock of the BD28 the main difference is it's just a little bit longer and a little bit bigger in diameter but fits perfect.
thats good to know sir...knock on wood sana wala namang masira hehehe about the 2t naman, kamusta ba sir? may napansin ba kayung difference or what? kasi yung mga kasama natin sa TSCP was descouraging me very well....sa mga dumptruck lang daw nila ginagawa yun.....
hehehe....actually sir to be honest, I've waited for somebody who would try the product first, sakto namang naswerte ako na may una ngang sumubok at nadoble pa lalo dahil naka strada rin.....so thanks to you talaga! di lang ako nasatisfy nakatipid pa ko....
BTW, Advance Merry Christmas to the People of this thread!
Hi Doc, currently using Royal Purple 15W-40 paired with BD28. Performance is good but still looking for alternatives. Plan to use Fleetguard LF3564 next but still undecided on the oil. Which is comparable or better than RP? Mobil 1 TDT, Mobil Delvac MX or Motul (?)...TIA.
Well if you find a real LF3564 let everyone know were you got it, remember no country of origin it's a fake. The LF3564 is also now being made in Argentina as well. Mobil1 TD has a much better additive package over RP.
In a Turbo diesel it's all about the oil with the most Zinc, Phosp, Moly and Boron and Calcium and who has the highest TBN, all will give you longer oil life.
Mobil1 0-40
Royal Purple 0-40

if you have money to burn, maganda nga fully synthetic. but remember, even if you are using fully synthetic, it is still best to change oil every 5k km for diesel engine because Philippine traffic is considered extreme driving conditions. stop and go traffic + the heat + dust.
