Remote bypass oil filtration

[bayen]

Hi Fellow Tsikoteers,

I've been reading this threat lately, currently at page 122.

I've read good reviews and good oil analysis on several Diesel oils. I particularly got interested with the Mobil 1 Turbo Diesel Truck 5w40 oil mostly because of its affordable pricing and great protection properties, however it says that its for diesel engines.
I've read along the line in this thread that its okay to use diesel oils for gas engines, except it aint good for the catalytic converter, but as mentioned by dvldoc, better to have good protection to the engine than have your cat converter compromised. that being said i have a few questions.

1. Is it safe for me to use Mobil 1 TDT 5w40 (Zinc less than 1200 PPM) on my gas engine? (Honda Jazz 2010 1.5V AT)
2. What is the acceptable (safe) level of Zinc on oil for gas engines?
3. Using Mobil 1 TBT 5w40 + Baldwin 7243 Combo - what is the recommended mileage before i do an oil change? i read somewhere here 10K to 12K is safe figure,
4. Am currently using Motul H-Tech 100 5w40 on my ride, will switching to a diesel oil cause any problem? Do i need to flush out the old oil?
5. I cant seem to find a Technical Spec for Motul H-tech 100, im curious how much phos, zinc, boron, calcium it has.

thanks folks.

Well actuually you could, look at it like this usinng the VIC version you got a 40 micron filter even though it has a bypass section, which is only filtering 10% of the oil at a time. Now the fleetguard is a 25 micron filter with a much better filter element.

The lf3564 is the better filter to use, not that they sell a quality one here, but the other is a good optionn if you can get a made in USA version


Its like my filter set up, the luberfiner version of my fleetguard is a full flow vs the fleetguards bypass set up due to it having a synthetic media and high flow capacity.

I have already had 3 PM and a email saying those ones from pacer started to leak on them so I would stick with the quality bd28.

hello guys, i read somewhere here that bosch oil filter is also good? Its for honda civic 2000 model. Plan to use castrol 10w40, and change oil of at least 7K kilometer reading...is bosch good enough? Price is 300.

i would use Bosch if there is no stock of Baldwin. and yes, it is better than Vic or OEM Thai made filter. But since there are a lot of stock for the Honda engine, I would prefer to use Baldwin.

They are a decent filter, they are not the same as the US made ones, different filter media.

Diesel Oil safe for Gas Engine oils - have <=1200 PPM of zinc. safe for cat converter

So far this is what i have.

1. Mobil delvac mx 15w40m -
2. Mobil 1 Turbo Diesel Truck 5w40 - 450-500 per liter
3. TOP 1 synthetic diesel oil
4. Top 1 Evolution 5w40 diesel
5. Mobil 1 0W-40 - too expensive though

any other options?

thanks

*crazyboy, dvldoc, bayen - thanks for ur inputs. Baldwin sellers in binondo is way too far from me, marikina area ako. That 300 price is from a shell gas station thats why its priced high. Will have to look in a nearby auto supply.
