available na ang BD28 sa volmax?
price?
if you are going to use Caltex Delo I suggest you use Caltex Delo Gold Ultra 15w40 instead of Delo Gold. Gold Ultra has the "safe" amount of Zinc, 1200 PPM. Anything higher than 1200 PPM is not safe for the Catalytic Converter. Mas mura nga lang ng onti yung Gold (215 per liter, i just checked yesterday at a local Caltex shop here in Angeles City. Delo Gold Ultra is at 230 per liter.
Delo Gold - Zinc * 1500 PPM; API Rating CH-4
Delo Gold Ultra - Zinc * 1200 PPM; API Rating CI-4 ( Safe for Cat Con)
chiks, problem kasi with idemitsu eco, weight 30 is not suitable for our weather. im currently using Zic brand oil. it was posted here before na ok itong brand and affordable siya. dvldoc also recommended this brand. its the biggest group3 (semi-syn) oil manufacturer around the world.
bale Zic + baldwin combo gamit ko sa fleet namin. though 5k km OCI parin ako sa mga toyota namin.
mga gurus papost naman ulit ng efficiency rating (nominal rating) ng:
1. BT223
2. LF3335
3. Valvoline V0-106
namention na sakin kanina ni doc nakalimutan kong isulat.
thanks in advance
chiks, yes BT223 ang pang vios and altis. last time i went there, i bought 6 for our 2 toyota cars. that will last us around 18 months of use na. para hindi din balik ng balik. sayang gas and parking e hehe
as for OCI, i know doing the 5k km OCI for baldwin filter is a waste of money. but wouldnt want to gamble with the toyota engine.![]()
You can go 10,000KM on mineral oil + Baldwin BT223 (Combo)
12,000KM to 15,000KM on synthetic but will also depends on the API rating.
Oils like Delo 400 are group 2 will go 12,000 on a diesel so in a gas engine even longer.
- dvdldocDiesel oils are more robust and have a higher TBN so they last longer.
The bt223 is 98% * 25 microns its nominal rating is 12 microns * 50% so it means on a single pass it will filter out 50% of particles that are down to 12 microns, The fleetguard has the same absoulute rating but they do not publish the nominal rating.
Valvoline v106 is 98% * 20 microns
The bt223 is 98% * 25 microns its nominal rating is 12 microns * 50% so it means on a single pass it will filter out 50% of particles that are down to 12 microns, The fleetguard has the same absoulute rating but they do not publish the nominal rating.
Valvoline vo106 is 98% * 20 microns. Nominal is 5 microns. You have to call But allmost to get the baldwin microlit media filters are the same rating.
Thanks doc.
read somewhere posted in bob the oil guy LF3335 are 76% * 30 microns? not sure if this is accurate.
