Vic Oil Filter

[bayen]

sorry guys for reviving a 5 yr. old thread. My car has a b16 engine, and i just saw a Vic c-805 filter at Ace hardware the other day, my question is will this fit on my engine. It is waay bigger than the 806 and a little bit taller than the 307. I would like to use larger than OEM size filters because im now using synthetic oils with 10thousand km. drain intervals, im too lazy to change my filter every 5k so im just thinking switching to a larger filter to compensate.

try considering filtering efficiency instead of considering the mere size of the the filter.
Heres a simple comparison to put you into perspective.

Vic filters - 87% efficiency at 40 microns
Baldwin or Fleetguard - 98 % efficient at 30 microns
most, OEM, Bosch, KNN, or other over the counter filters - 98% efficiency at 40 microns

so even if you use bigger filters, it doesnt necessarily mean that your oil will be less contaminated. using vic, it will only capture most particles in the 40 micron size but at a lousy 87% efficiency only unlike other filters that have better filtering efficiency. try looking for the thread here re: remote bypass filtration. that will really give you a good idea how vic filters are.

What is the difference in terms of quality of an original VIC and fake VIC oil filters? ung Toyota OEM filters, VIC din ba talaga un iniba lang packaging?

ang toyota usually Denso yan..

I'm assuming that the filtration efficiencies quoted by Bayen are based off orig Vics. So kung ganyan na ka-pangit ang orig paano na kaya ang japeyks

Vic is a Japanese brand: http://www.eiken-kk.co.jp/english/

Yep. Given that we all discovered that our ol reliable VICs aren't that good (thanks mostly to dvldoc), just imagine how bad the fakes are.

Yup, may nag sabi sa akin na same lang daw ang VIC and Toyota OEM filter. Anyway, I'll stay away from VIC. VIC is also quite pricey compared to other quality oil filters.

Wag kayo paloloko dyan na pangit ang Vic oil filter,

If there are better but cheaper filter options in the market, why not? I will buy a better filter (like baldwin, fleetguard, etc) over ViC anytime...

Is this primal ent?

May vested interest?

IMO and past experience with it, PANGIT siya compared to a cheaper Baldwin but that's just me.

Indeed sir those are cheaper than VIC. Nagtataka nga ako eh, bakit ang mahal ng VIC filter?

thanks pare, let me re-phrase my question then: Will the Baldwin filter equivalent of Vic c-805 fit my engine? the engine is a B16, the Baldwin part number is B161S.

[bayen]

B16 engine uses the m20x1.5 thread filter.

there are many options for you:
Fleetguard LF3528, Baldwin B166, B161-S
Baldwin B7243,
Valvoline V0-106
Fleetguard LF16157

any chance you have a couple of b161-s's lying around out there,

there maybe cheaper yet better filter than vic.. the only problem is the availability... not many are selling those brands like fleetguard..

if there is available fleetguard or baldwin why not..

anyway, i replace the filter and oil every 5k kms...

Indeed sir, VIC is rampant in the market unlike other brands.
