i wouldnt worry about it hitting potholes. malayo pa yung oil filter. unang tatamaan yung oil pan. besides bt223 is only about an inch longer and the metal casing seems sturdy enough

Top 1 diesel oil is great for gas and diesel since it's additive package is not to aggressive with the Zinc 1200ppm is perfect. Diesel oils have higher detergents as well so they will keep your engine cleaner so you can use that in all your vehicles.

You defiantly do not want to use the 20w50 oil in your engines unless it's a older worn out diesel. If the oil is the new API SJ rated oil you don't want that stuff it's weak sauce there zinc is around 850ppm to 900ppm and Phos way down in the 600ppm range. They do put in around 40ppm moly and some boron to make up for it a little. Not really the best oil out there.

Don't know about there diesel oil I would have to dig up a spec sheet the MSDS do not state the exact formulation but a range.
after backreading, i think i bought the wrong oil filter....

i bought the BT233 instead of BT223 for the 4cy toyota.
