Yep already did and they actually know and even recommend other Baldwin product numbers that are compatible or matched to engines or other brand product numbers. And I can't believe the prices! I can safely conclude that Baldwins are truly bang for the buck! Mas mura pa ang pricing compared to the overrated VIC!
doc, those pictures sent to you by Fleetguard of the LF3564 does not appear similar to the 3D model they show in their website. http://catalog.cumminsfiltration.com...&PartType=Lube, Combination&partflag=0¤tPage=1
-10 holes vs 6 holes.
-Different design below Fleetguard logo esp." LUBE FILTER LF3564 ". The website 3D shows them as in bolder letters.
-The website model shows it being MADE IN ARGENTINA.
Been rereading the entire thread again. So apologies if I reviving or quoting other people's old post.
CB, which L300 did you try it on? Versa Van or FB body?
This one's the Mitsubishi OEM filter. Don't have the dimension for it so I can't really tell if how does it size up vs. BD28 vs. Bosch OM 036
I have the bosch OM 36 and BD28 side by side. BD28 is taller by 5 mm or something. Bosch is wider and heavier than BD28. Externally, somewhat better built or put together than BD28. Looked inside the OM 036, the bypass filter looks like a stack of tissue papers. I maybe wrong.
C409A BT223/B33/B37
This particular entry is erroneous. JS Filters :: Application Cross Reference and Image for JS : Oil (Spin-on) : C409J
It should be B7144 or B7130.
C409A = LF3665 = Wix 51725
B7144 = LF3642 = Wix 57411
B7130 = LF3752 = Wix 51725
Well the Fleetguard emailed me those pictures saying they were made in Malaysia but, Frankly I would not use them, the quality is much lower than a normal Fleetguard. And they still don't have a country of origin on the filter. Now will they work, yeah probably but rather use a Bosch then that one.
Another thing the bottom half is supposed to be microglass but it looks nothing like Fleetguards standard microglass media.
12vdc got this at Pacer and cut it open. It's the real deal and made in the US that other one the media is way to thin.
Microglass is also steel mesh backed and that filter is clearly not.
This is a close up of Microglass media. The copper thing is a US Penny to give a reference. You can see the so called Malaysian filter does not even come close on the quality.

For Zuk APV G16A engine, BT223 is the largest it could handle. Gasket is larger than OE but spin-on base has the same diameter so no problem.

Has anyone already tried fitting Baldwin on L300FB? I took some measurements last time and i think theres a little clearance for an upgrade. The rear AC plumbing will hit the buttom of the filter.
As per Volmax, andami daw nagtatanong ng BD28 makulit daw yung lagi tumatawag sa Montero.![]()
^ Yup, same with APV. Notice the buttom of filter is about the level of the crossmember, going any longer is not recommended.
Bosch OM 036 vs. BD28 (don't sweat, its an new old stock from way before the "shortage").
Bosch has no crimping and has less holes. Its also wider by a bit vs. the BD28
Bosch has bottom canister plastic shrink wrap. Both have fluted tops. BD28 slightly narrower but taller.
Bosch is made in Korea (If I'm not mistaken).
The Bosch is probably a great replacement to the VIC C306 and if I'm not mistaken its also cheaper at Php 350 a pop. Solidly built and feels heavier than the BD28. I plan to put this in the L300 delivery with 3xx,xxx kms and replace that Vic C306.

Hi everyone! This thread proved to be some heavy reading, but it helped me understand more about oil and oil filters. Kudos!
Some questions that I have:
1. Is the BT223/ B233 also applicable for older units of Toyota Corona? Mine is a 3SF engine model.
2. Also tried looking for cross reference for a B1446 for Isuzu Xwind (4jai1), it seems that the B109 will also fit. Can anyone confirm this?Also for the Xwind, is it advisable to use the Mobile delvac mx 15w 40? Saw one at true value priced at P1184 for the one gallon
Thanks a lot!
