Update:
My 1k pms at Diamond Marcos Hway was good. I was assisted by SA Marcos who's very easy to talk to re what I want and do not want to be performed.

All in all I paid 1,070 for the materials including oil filter (free labor)
I paid around 1,300 for the Petron RevX Trekker Multigrade oil 15w40 (viscosity is also within manual specs).

Here are the specs of the oil which I find better than hx7 (I am for the API and ACEA ratings) and at par with Mobil Delvac Mx. Its also specifically for Diesel engines with EGR.

Thank you Sir for the update. Glad it all went well.

Much better if you use Mobil Delvac Mx IMO since sure ka sa specs nun like dun sa thread na remote bypass filtration. Sa Petron kasi wala pa ako nakikita actual test results. Pero kung effective naman sa ride mo, I guess it's ok na rin.

Sir Ry Tower,

From seat of the pants feel. Okay naman sa akin ang Rev-x trekker based on experience. Less smoke (based on 4d56 NA). So far sa Strada ko, okay naman. Not much difference actually.

I would've wanted Delvac Mx sir pero the availability is a concern.

Enjoy ang strada so far. Kung saan saan ko na din nadala. ^_^

[Ry_Tower]

^ hehe, 'wag naman sir, haligi pa naman kayo dito sa tsikot, kakahiya.

Ayos talaga strading, pang-work and pay talaga pick-up!

BOSB, Can someone give me the part# of the VIC Oil filter for 4d56? When I bought 7 TOP1 SDO oil, I was given a Ginza Oil Filter for free. Can someone confirm if this is the correct Part# (C-8321) for our Strada(4d56)?

Sir sa vlomax dito sa binondo, look up the numbers in this pms thread....the price and part number you can see in the picture All i can say is the baldwin filters do work because upto now, my oil is still gold color, unlike before, 500kms palang may itim na yung oil....i got my mobil 1 dito din sa binondo, but i saw someone got it for 450. Ako got mine for 500 per liter.

Hmmmm.... sir KCboy, parang mura ang kuha nyo sa Baldwin filters nyo sir...

On browsing the website of Baldwin, it seems that counterfeits exist for this kind of filters and one of the caveats that they posted is "if you are offered a Baldwin filter at a price that seems too good to be true, it may be."

Here's the link for checking for a genuine Baldwin filters:

That's reassuring, sir KCboy. Thanks. Will consider trying out Baldwin in my next PMS. Presently, I'm also using Mobil 1 TDT 5w-40.

^ sir anong oil filter binili niyo? If I may ask lang naman.

[vhronx]

OEM lang muna ako, casa pa kasi ako. I just put several hard disk magnets around the oil filter.

Sir vhronx, excuse me for my ignorance, but what is the hard disc magnet around the oil filter for?

*ooba99, It is about "magnetised oil traps". I will let this thread and article below explain my use of hard disk magnets.
