This is a prime example of what I mean about newer oil being total crap. (thank you EPA)

This oil has around 50/50 of the ZDDP it had just 7 years ago so that's 50% less friction protection. Now they try to make up for it with moly but there is only so much moly can do, Nothing beats ZDDP.

This oil was ran 8500 miles / 13500klm all test are on the same oil. which is SN rated. Also notice the TBN at this mileage it's down to 1. You can run Mobil Delvac that same distance on a diesel and it will still be a high 7.

If it doesn't have at least 1000ppm zinc, don't even pour it in your engine. Find a better oil.

I'm a new convert to better filters now. Got my first Baldwin from Volmax. But just now, I did some back reading and chance upon miko's post about Volmax caught selling fake donaldson filters. If the shop had a past reputation with this practice and even if they stopped doing it, it would be easy for customers to always second guess any product they get from this shop. Also take note, this shop is very much aware of this thread.

dvldoc, this is a shot of what I got. Any discrepancies? Appreciate your help.

Just to add since the "edit" post option of this thread is still iffy.

Is it normal for the Baldwin filters to be not wrapped in shrink wrap? The box appears a bit soiled but gives an impression of legitimacy with the computer etching printing of the Bar code + "Made in the USA" .

Even the Toyota filters from Toyota car dealers have a shrink wrapped covering on the bottom (to protect the filter's internal before use).

The filter itself has a computer stamping on top.

These are real, They have 100% real on the Baldwins, They are no longer a Donadson official dealer. Lesson learned I guess.

If the box is a little dirty it's really not a big deal, I have some that are like that two, they get jacked up from being shipped around. 90% of Baldwins come individually boxed so they are not wrapped in plastic, So far never seen on wrapped that is boxed. Fleetguards are not individually boxed but come in cases of 12 or 6 depending on the filter size but mainly 12 but are fully sealed in plastic.

Only thing you need to check on a filter really is dents, rust, bad threads. Those appear to be in perfect shape to me. Good to see they keep them in stock. No real knockoff market for Baldwins one the reproduction cost is a bit more due to the orange peal paint job they have and there being only one vendor in the Philippines kind of would screw them royally if they did sell the fakes.

As you can see they are the same.

As you can see Baldwins no plastic Fleetguards fully wrapped. Except for there Fuel filters they tend to be wrapped.

sir how to distinguished between a good used oil and an oil that is already due for changing? w.o using any testing machine etc...

nag change oil (diesel) po kasi ako.. at ang napancin ko yung used oil eh halos kasing labnaw pa din ng bagong oil (almost drips like water po...) not unlike my previous oil change na malapot na po yung used oil... compare sa bagong oil....
