after using Zic A 10w40 for almost 200km, I noticed that the car shifts better than the previous oil that I used. I didnt know that motor oil will have something to do with the smoothness of the shifting of gears as well. Also, car is more "lively" now.
Thing to do now is to observe if engine will sludge if I will do an extended OCI.
Dvldoc, checked the B233 oil filter again, and it is not leaking. Will continue to observe for the next few days.
slightly OT, if I use a Baldwin fuel filter, how long interval will I be looking at?
thanks!
They have the same gasket so since you have no lip on your filter mounting surface then it's never going to be a issue. I don't know if they would carry a filter for a gas 2.7 Innova at Volmax. Not much market for it like the diesel one. But a 40000klm interval on a gas engine is not extreme or every 4th oil change.
But if they do carry one it's the BF1100

iirc, yung sa website ng fleetguard with regards sa lf3564 ay may 10 inlet holes while yung mga nakita ko na sample dito sa thread have 6 holes.
I just sent a email to fleetguard about that. It's a issue on that fuel filter as well. All filter has flow numbers and I am not sure how those could be meet with a reduction in outlet holes.
The fuel filter only has 4 holes vs 8 on the US version. and as you stated the LF3564 only has 6 outlet holes vs 10 on the US version.
The newer version of the FF5160 as even larger holes than the one I posted if you check it on the Cummins site. So that is a concern.
