Remote bypass oil filtration

[crazy_boy]

I know this has been discussed so many times before in this thread but I'll ask again. The main reason why some people change oil regularly at a short interval is to avoid the formation of sludge inside the engine. Having said that, is it bad oil filtering that causes the formation of those sludges? or is it the oil itself which at some point will degrade and sludge the engine? sa oil ba ito or sa filter?

answer of dvldoc few pages back.

dvldoc, speaking of sludge, is it safe to assume that sludge is from use of low quality oil + low quality filter?

Folks we have our self a winner, You got it crazy boy, it's the number on reason for sludge, second is other contaminates like coolant. Some engines are just sluge monsters due to a bad design, Toyota's 1997 to 2002 for example.

If you use a low detergent automotive oil then you can expect to have a sludgy engine. If you have a coolant system leak expect the same. That's why it's always best to know what's in your oil, It's good to pull your valve cover from time to time just to check if everthing's good to go.

Thank you sir cb and dvdldoc. Could you recommend a good mineral based oil brand? some of the brands I'm familiar with are Toyota OEM mineral oil, Castrol, Repsol. Good brands like Royal Purple, Mobil 1, Motul, Top 1 are mostly of synthetic type.

Try Zic brand oils. Its recommend by dvldoc as well. Group3 synthetic. so basically highly refined mineral oil siya. price is not so expensive naman.

They're near the 5th Ave. LRT station along Rizal Ave. Some word of caution with Pacer though. We bought a couple of Fleetguard filters from them a few months back and per checkings with dvldoc and cross-referencing the pics of what we got with what can be seen online, there's suspicion it may be fake. We're trying it now with a 5000km OCI and will open it up right after to confirm whether the filter is good or not.

Ito ba yung dating Caterpillar? Before i went there to buy some parts for caterpillar genset. Mismo sa station sila naka pwesto. PACER na pala sila?

maybe i will buy the filter first then have it fit it with the base. Just like to know if i use the DB28 for the stocks oil filter then what filter should i use for the bypass filter? Tia

okay, thanks sir cb. will consider Zic oil brand. I assume it is semi-synthetic based on your description.

[dvldoc]

ZIC has semi, full and strait mineral oil. I think with it's price I would go with their full synthetic.
