Quick question here: Is the Fleetguard FF5160 (cross for MB 220900) inside-out flow or standard flow? Thanks
Quick question here: Is the Fleetguard FF5160 (cross for MB 220900) inside-out flow or standard flow? Thanks
Yes the FF5160 is inside outflow, The Baldwin is a much better filter, that Fleetguard is only 40 microns * 98.7% and 20 microns at 50%. The Baldwin is 15 microns at 98.7% and 5 microns * 5%. OEM is 10 microns * 50%.
I would go with the BF7534.
Just want to ask tsikoteers what you will choose between a WIX and a Fleetguard replacement for a BD28. Volmax said that they will have the BD28 by the end of April and now they are telling me they will have it by June, don't like to buy from them anymore. My concern for the FG is that the ones they are selling here seems to be inferior to the ones being sold in the US as seen in the previous posts. Wix on the other hand I think does not filter as well as FG and Baldwin. Just want to know your opinions.![]()
Well when shipping from overseas there can always be delays.
But as far as the WIX goes, on this particular filter, yes they have a cross match that would work but the nominal rating is 30 microns which is not very good. The Baldwin is 12 microns. Normally WIX filters are very good but not for this particular application because.
But this does not put them out of the picture, If you can find the 51675 it's 19 microns nominal, It is slightly larger than the BD28 equivilant. I know some 4M40's and 4D56's have that Aircon hose that can block a larger filter so you will have to check if you have clearance.
51675
Height: 5.981
Outer Diameter Top: 4.282
BD28
O.D.: 3 11/16 (93.7)
Length: 5 3/8 (136.5)
If you do have the extra space you can also go with the BD7028.
Goodluck on wix, went to superior motors last january and ordered filters for 4d56, they said they are going to call me when my order arrives, well, upto now, nothing. Forced me to get a case of bd28 from u.s, price is higher than that of volmax, but i know i am going to have them, rather than just wait for volmax stocks
It seems like it is a case to case basis. Some OEM filters have good fuel filters but bad oil filters and vice versa.
still could not get hold of a Baldwin for my Estima.
tulong po. para po sa 3C engine. cross po sya ng Vic C-112.
Baldwin: BD7029
Fleetguard: LF3849
Wix: 51368
PM nyo po ako if meron kayo makukuha. TIA.
OT:
thanks miko for the mobil oil delivered last time. cencia di ako nagtagal kase un P.Steering ko may tagas that night. Nag-loose lang pala as ilalim. Ok na sya ngayon. Next month bili ulit ako ng oil. hehe.
zix, where did you find the baldwin in US? i'll try to order a few and have it shipped here c/o balikbayan box. makikisabay lang sa dad ng gf ko para free muna shipping hehe kindly PM it to me
miko, was able to find the culprit. it was a loose clamp on the turbo. tightened it already.
had my oil change today on my 4m40 to Zic UP 10w40. coupled with Baldwin BD28. i got the last piece from Volmax early march.

actually checked it right after oil change. but it was a bit dark agad. probably cause the previous oil i use was really really dark when we drained it. but its ok since i know im using a good oil + filter combo. will drain the oil after probably 5-6000km and have it analyzed.
Miko, can you PM me the contact of the company with used oil analysis? thanks!
