VIC oil filters: good?

[badkuk]

they're a lot cheaper than the original replacements i've been buying for my ae92...

[theveed]

a lot of people use them, does its job naman as long as you replace it sa tamang intervals.

[jim]

yup VIC is good. pag walang VIC gamit ko DAI-WA oks din lang.

[mantoy]

ever since nakuha ko ae92 ko 5 yrs ago VIC na yung oil filter na ginagamit ko. mura eh.

[conzky]

AFAIK, its a good brand. im using it since 1996.

[GlennSter]

very good brand naman siya.no problems with it.naging wholesaler pa kami dati niyan kasi tiwala dad ko...

[Bogeyman]

Kahit nga yung kapitbahay namin na taga-Mitsu, recommended yang VIC. May kamahalan nga kasi yung orig na oil filters eh. Masubukan nga yan on my next oil change.

[badkuk]

nacurious lang ako diyan when someone placed an ad about fake VIC filters. e alam mo naman pag pinepeke ung isang product...

[theveed]

pinepeka lang ang mga ok na products

I was shown a demo of racor fuel filter versus vic fuel filter. Vic lets water through, doesn't filter it. 2nd, dirty, murky, cloudy diesel also passes through vic fuel filter. What it filters are big particles, the size of sand. Racor, on the other hand, holds water and not let it through, and cloudy diesel after the 1st pass, slightly improves, and if there is a 2ndary filter, improves significantly, which means it is able to sieve the dirt that is suspended in the diesel. I can talk about diesel, as this was what was tested, not gasoline.

Yes, Vic is a very popular replacement brand, but with that demonstration, I now have doubts to its efficacy.

How much is Racor compared to Vic?

Check out the above link, its the specifics of the demonstration.

I believe it is priced lower than the original fuel filter, but much higher than a replacement filter. I don't even think original fuel filters are able to filter as well as racor, based on the demonstration and my inquiry with a casa technician. Maski yung taga casa, was surprised and said their filter doesn't do that.

altec,
are you talking abt fuel filters?

meron ba fuel filter ang vic?

[Bogeyman]

This Racor spin-on filter has piqued my curiosity. Meron din bang oil filters ang Racor?

[GlennSter]

sigurado ba kayong orig vic filter ang ginamit sa demo? =)

meron kaming poster dito ng fake vs orig.,..i just cant find it.

[speedyfix]

makes sure it doesn't filter half as well though. hehe!

[jetjet]

how about VIC fuel filters? and papanu po ba mag change ng Fuel Filter Assembly? kasi mahirap hanapin yung replacement na gamit ko now, so planning to change the whole assembly where VIC filter fits..do i need to bring it to diesel calibration shops?or pwede na DIY?kasi tingin ko pwede naman baklas yun with out special tools e, my concern is baka kaylangan pa itimpla or some config yung bagong Fuel Filter Assembly..hindi nrn orig yung gamit ko ngayun...


TIA!

vic is ok we used to use it in one of the japanese casas that i used to work with

We use ViC for the Japs in the fleet. The Euro cars use Hengst. No problems for the last 15 years or so.

ay wrong forum pala ako. Yes, I was talking about fuel filters, oil filter pala ang tinatanong dito. I didn't check and I don't know how to distinguish between an orig and a fake vic filter.
