I checked the cross reference sites you posted in this thread. Also checked sites of Auto Parts stores stateside – Kragen, Pep Boys, and Autozone. These are the part numbers I came up with for my LC 100 (2UZ-FE) and LC 80 (1FZ-FE). Appreciate if you can confirm if these are the correct ones.

There are no stocks of Bosch and Baldwin oil filters for these rigs in Warren and Volmax. Superior Motors has the Wix 51348 and 51515 in stock – they are only priced at P240 and P199 respectively – at these prices I’m having doubts if these are genuine Wix filters.

Have an upcoming trip to the US so will probably get the filters for these two rigs over there.

LC 100 (2UZ-FE engine)
Wix
- part # 51348
Bosch
- part # 3330 or 72161
Baldwin
- part # B159 or BT223
Purolator
- part # L10241 or L22821

LC 80 (1FZ-FE engine)
Wix
- part # 51515
Bosch
- part # 3330 or 3500
Baldwin
- part # B2
Purolator
- part # L30001 or PL10241
* Could not get part numbers for Fleetguard filters for these engines.

By the way I’ve shifted to Bosch oil filter for my wife’s Pajero Gen 2.5 (4m40TDIC). Will try out Baldwin (BD28 or BD7028) from Volmax in my next oil change. I currently change the oil at 4,000km intervals and oil used is Caltex Delo 15w-40 mineral oil. If I use the Baldwin can I extend the oil change interval?

Thanks once again dvldoc.
Have not seen any fake WIX there, as a matter of fact there is really no market for them. Wix are not expensive but are high quality filters you can go 10000kms with both Wix and Baldwin.

But if your going to the states I would get Bosch distance plus filters over WIX. They are over the counter filters with about the same filter media as a Baldwin and hold more dirt.

Bosch Distance Plus D3423

If your changing your oil at 4000km intervals on Diesel oil your wasting your money. You might also want to see if the area your in has a Napa auto parts store first because Napa carries WIX , Napa also has Napa brand filters (Napa makes WIX) The new Platinum filters they are awesome These are full synthetic media filters like Amsoil. and designed for 20000km oil change intervals.

Napa gold are the same as WIX filters. All high quality.
