Have a safe trip bud. Let's work on my elgrand's remote bypass filter when you come back. Hope your baby's fixed from damage of the accident.

As usual VOLmax, have yet to replenish their stocks of BF7534. Estimated October 2012 arrival. Or is it 2018.

These guys don't seem interested in doing any business at all.

Not to defend Volmax, but it is not as easy as it seems to import filters. Filters, specially car filters, are a low value item. Filters are also bulky, specially air filters. It only makes sense to import them by the container-load. Not everyone is looking for Baldwins, Fleetguards or Donaldsons for their cars. Most people buy the cheapest filter they can get. So it takes a while to fill a container.

Then they should really start distibuting their good stuff to other areas. Vic distributor is making a killing. A Vic oil filter for a 4be1 is almost 30% more expensive than a bosch. If Baldwin would be sold even at 10% less than the Vic's (which they can by the way), they then would make a killing.

but the can order it in few cases naman. im sure the manufacturer will ship container load of different filters to them. kahit na 1 case lang yan. hindi naman customized yung size nung filter e. existing product yun. i just dont know what volmax is doing.


i guess everyone should start writing to the area manager of Baldwin for Asia Pacific. and start complaining. I wrote to them a few months back.. same lang sila ni volmax. walang kwenta yung sagot.

Can any of the following fit?

Fleetguard LF689, Baldwin B233 equivalent
Fleetguard LF551A, Baldwin's B2 equivalent
Fleetguard LF3314, Baldwin B118

Thanks in advance.

i remember nung pumunta ako sa wix distributor sa q.ave, it seems they don't really give much thought on bringing stocks of filters for the retail-automotive sector, the cars, suv's... same with volmax,

meron sila libro ng catalogue at cross reference, pero bawat tanung ko panay walang stocks...puro pang heavy duty and pang large machines....

sa distributor ng parker racor at donaldson filters, ganun din wala sila stocks ng mga sizes that belongs to the car segment...

[Ry_Tower]

^ Like I said, they are missing much.

[niwde11]

usually mga fleet buyers yata at heavy equipment mga customers nila. one time nakausap ko yung anak ng me ari ng isang malaking bus company. in charge sya sa operation. i thought vic lang gamit nila sa mga buses nila kasi mga rundown lang ang gamit nila nuon. sagot sakin they are using donaldson. di pa ko familiar nuon sa mga ganyang filter. kahit siguro sa auto supply ko pipiliin pa rin ng buyer ang vic kesa sa baldwin, fleetguard etc kung me tinda man ako. kahit siguro 10x ko volume ng sales ng filter ko di pa rin ako aabot sa requirement ng filter ng bus company nila.

so for me also, maliit lang siguro tayo para sa market nila considering pa-isa isa lang tayo bumili. parang market ng kotse sa pinas. di tayo gano pansin kasi mas malaki volume kumuha neighboring countries satin. they are not missing much.

these folks should be given a wake up call.
yuhoooo!!! dami kaya naten sa automotive industry na aware na about these industrial grade oil filters.
hmmm... come to think of it, whenever I ask relatives of mine what oil filter they use their default answer is "VIC", toinks! well.... i guess hindi pa ganun kadami nga ang nakakaalam.

Even the ratty old heavy equipment i that see at the worksites use real deal Donaldson and Fleetguard filters.

I think it's more of a question of having a distribution network. The retail auto segment is still small for them really since they are limited to selling from their stores and a few heavy equipment distribution stores as compared to VIC and Purolator which already have an established distribution network.

I was at ACE Hardware in SM Makati last night and I was surprised to see three boxes of the "Made in USA" Purolators. Sadly it was the model for the Ford Explorer/Sprot Trac/Expedition. The price was noticeably double (P 300+) as against the other Purolators we see on the shelf which retail for P 100+ usually.

[Ry_Tower]

^ seems like legit then if priced at P300 for a gas engine.

^ seems like legit then if priced at P300 for a gas engine.

Yeah... based on the old "legit or not" discussions from the earlier parts of this thread, it does look legit. Packaging is similar to what you see in the US, no plastic wrapping, "made in/hencho..." mark, etc. Too bad it's only three pieces, and for a Ford even. I would have snapped it up immediately if it would fit on any of the cars at home, under my care.

Correct. The focus of these stores is for fleet and heavy equipment customers. For these types of equipment, the filters are both more expensive and customers are more discriminating. Plus the filters are changed more frequently. It may surprise a lot of people as to how often the filters are changed. For example, for a Komatsu HD325-6 mining dump truck, the recommended replacement interval of the oil filter is 250 hours. If the truck runs 20 hours a day, the filter has to be changed every 13 days.
