Remote bypass oil filtration

[dvldoc]

Hi dvldoc!

the Baldwin B1446 is the cross for the Vic C-512 (small size), used by crosswinds with M/T and non Turbo models.

my 2003 XUV is a 4JA1(NA, L) variant with A/T, Turbocharger that comes with the BIG size filter.
if ever, will the small type filter not affect or hinder performance of this kind of engine set up/configuration?

This is what i've gathered so far.. My OEM# 8-94167-399-0

crosses with the ff;
ITSUMO 8-94167-399-0
JSAKURA C-503
Baldwin B109
Fleetgrd LF3433
Donaldson P905002
MANN W92180
WIX 51386
BOSCH OM 037 (aka OF 503)
FRAM PH4731
VIC C-503

whilst the small type filter (not designated for my ride)

OEM# 8-94430-983-0
Baldwin B1446
Fleetgrd LF3528
Fleetgrd LF3786
Wix 51523?

Vic C-512

Ever hear the phrase size does not matter, The Baldwin B1446 has 3 times the dirt holding capacity over the Vic, They also will have more pleats and 3 times the efficiency rating. So going with the larger filter will make little difference in your oil change intervals if your not going over 12000klm per oil change.

The B106 holds 20.81 grams
The B1446 holds 18.04 grams (has no anti drainback valve) which is not needed if a filter is not mounted upside down.
The flow rating are also close the smaller has 25gpm while the larger has 22gpm so the smaller one actually flows better.

You can stray from OEM recommendations quite a bit, If you do a little back reading you'll see how I explain this. Both these filters will work on your vehicle, having a turbo makes no difference, especially one that only makes 4hp over the stock engine, People keep the same filters when adding a turbo to their current engine.

As long as the sizes is close to the same, the bypass valve is close to the same, in this case they are identical at 20psi you are good to go.

Don't limit yourself with options by only going with the OEM number.

Thanks dvldoc, that is very assuring to know.

yeah, hear that adage often. hehehe

it'll all boil down to which will be available here in metro manila. kinda frustrating though.

guys, this is i guess off topic but i have a theory regarding the production of filters for the asian market versus the american / european market.

as we all know, whoever has not yet put up a production plant (or contractor) in china is being left in the game of production.
the driving purpose is supposedly the lower cost. i estimate 10 chinese workers would cost the same as 3 non-chinese asian workers (filipino, indian, etc) versus 1 american/european worker. are you following me?

with that, to drive costs further down, i suspect that the big producers (american & european) have approved a different (LOoOWER) standard for the asian market / consumers. hence the proliferation of what we know as counterfeit, knock offs or better yet imitations.

we know that singapore is a distribution hub and not a production source. i guess they are in charge of sourcing out production in china, malaysia, thailand etc. wherein with their quest for cost effectiveness for the asian theatre, they have lowered the standards compared to the american & european side.

this would explain the lack of enthusiasm from the headquarters state side in pursuing the complaints lodged to them.

what do you guys think?
