XTO Oil Filter Replacement

[larshell]

Vic is the best.Bosch may bad experience ako dyan sumabog yong oring.
Kaya ako di nako nagbebenta ng ibang brand puro Vic nalang.

Paano malaman na sumabog ang oil filter? Ung metal casing ba or ung paper element na nasa loob?

thanks sa inyong dalawa, lapit pa lang kasi mag 20k mileage ko in 4 years. base sa maint. manual natin. sked na sya for fuel filter change, pero balak mula ngayon every yr ko na palit. kaya sensya na kayo kung dami ko questions re gear oil at trans oil change (including kotse.com) pati sana valve adustment gusto ko pa-check ( i saw yung thread nito yrs back ni ekswind with picture pa. diko ata kaya gawin yun baka dina tumakbo) kasi last time na check sa casa eh nung nag 5K pa. (anyway nasa 11-12 km/L city driving ang consumption ko) glen10's shop lang ang nakita kong medyo malapit sa 'kin. QC lang kasi ako. advice naman from you and rsnald kung ano pa dapat ko pa-check. oil change and filter lang kasi usual ko ginagawa. biodiesel user din ako since nag- member ako dito sa tsikot at kotse. thanks ulit.

madali lang mag-adjust ng valve clearance, you just need the proper tools (17mm, 14mm, 12mm, and 10mm wrenches, 0.40mm spacer gauge, philips screwdriver) at lakas ng loob hehehe. other things to check:
1. Fan belts
2. alternator belt
3. tire thread depth (kung pudpod na gulong mo)
4. better din kung magpa alignment ka na. servitek ok na sila. wag rapide.
5. check your battery condition na din, tutal lampas na warranty ng battery, tanggalin mo yung sticker covering the battery, unscrew mo yung individual cap ng battery compartment and check/refill with distilled water.
6. brake pads, palinis lang siguro. me, I changed my front brake pads after more than 90,000km.
7. repack front wheel bearing - sa servitek din.

yan lang naiisip ko as of now... fill-in na lang ni master xwind kung ano kulang.

Sir Rsnald,

Other than Ace Hardware, saan pa puwedeng bumili ng original na VIC FILTERS? I live in Pasig area. Wala kasi akong alam na shops. XTO rin na a/t yung dala ko. Thank you.

Most auto supply shops have vic filters. kung malapit ka sa Pasig rotonda, dun sa may Fernandos Auto Supply meron sila. C512 nga pala yung oil filter FC208A yung fuel filter. last kuha ko, P220 yung oil, 180 yata yung fuel filter. Meron din silang binebentang bagong brand ng oil. LG international, 15W-40, semisynthetic daw. Nasubok ko na, ok naman. Maganda sa cold start sa umaga, mabilis umakyat sa correct idling speed. Meron din dyan sa Fernando auto shop na air filter. Meron pa din dun sa may ilalim ng C5 flyover, katabi ng mga hardware shops, kalimutan ko lang yung name ng shop. dalawa yun, magkatabi. hth ;)
