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.

still could not get hold of a Baldwin for my Estima.

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.
ganyan din dati nung ginamit ko bardahl na fully synthetic, meh something na amoy... parang pungent yung smell...
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!

that's correct, mahal nga si Bionicwheels sir CB but i was pressed for time na. sila lang alam ko na may Bosch na malapit. as i Had to travel up Up UP north right after the OCI.
initial observation; i think lumuwag / nakahinga ung makina. medyo tumaas ang idling (engine). :detective:
what we do for our fleet is to buy in bulk/wholesale so you will get it at a lower price. before we used to buy Top1 SDO for our diesel engines. now trying Zic UP. Ok naman Top1, hindi mausok as compared to Shell Rimula. For our gas fed engines, we're using Zic A naman.
