Oil Filters For G U Patrol 4.2ltr With Gas Injection

AMEN, Halelulua and sing up brother, I don't think they can hear you at the back.

I'll back you will the bass line brother.

Brothers and sisters, when you start buying where the truckies do, you will done be converterd.

You will buy better for less and be happy about it.

Another vote for the Sakura filters....Sakura are a very big and quality focused concern...googe em if you like..they do lots of OEM and make for alot of other brands.

Fleetguard is very well regarded in the heavy transport business.

Likewise Donaldson

Bypass filters are realy a hang over from the 70's.....oil and filters have come a way since then......in the 70's and 80s ya saw lots of em oh heavy vehicles...not so much these days.

If ya worried about ya need for filtration chanage ya filter mid way thru ya oil change period........ya oil will probably outlast ya filter.

As for the top 3 diesel oils listed above, they are tp shelf but cost a hell of a lot less beause of the volume the truckies use em in.

The only concern I would have is the specifics of the gass involved......When in doubt ring or email the oil company and ask if their diesel spec oil is suitable for gass.

All 3 above are designed as mixed fleet oils so they run in pterol engines very well TVM

OH and cutting up a few oil filters is an education.....I cut open my oil filter most oil changes

cheers

Hi Ross,
The oil I use is Nulon 15W-40 High Protection Diesel Formula Engine Oil,
is this OK !!

Cheers

Ya probablly paying too much for an oil that does not spec up as well as any of the top 3....the top 3 are very close and very competitive.

I've looked and its a fair diesel spec oil.... but Dello 400 multigrade outspecs it across the board, Rimula and Devlac in a sililar grade will do likewise.

If ya paying more than $100 for a 20 litre, you are paying too much.

Remember the top 3 are made by major oil copmanies

Look for the JASO DH1 spec as a minimum.

cheers

Hi To The Bantam,
I have heard of Rimula Oil before, but not the other two.
Where can you buy these oils ?
I live in Halls Gap Victoria, the nearest main towns are Horsham, Hamilton, Ararat & Stawell.

Rimular is Shells long standing diesel oil brand....open almost any trucking mag and there will be at least 1 full colou,r full page add for it

Dello is Caltex

Devlac, the best of the 3 by a very short nose is, Mobil

I've been seeing Rimular in some of the auto retail shops of late.
And I did see Devlac in a cataloge a while ago

Various different diesel parts shops will align with one of the 3 or Castrol..... Castrol Rx super is very popular and is no slouch, but its not up with the top 3..Castrol is owned by BP as is Valvoline...my view is that valvoline is BPs cheap oil brand.
All the rest lag behind in either price or quality or both.

I buy my Dello from the local Caltex fuel depot that services trucks, I did buy it from my local Caltex servo, but they cant do a good price.

Some of the Caltex truck stops will do a good price on Dello.

the strory will be similar with Shell and Mobil

Its just a case of searching out a good supply near you...and depending where you are or who represents who in town...that may influence which of the 3 or Castrol that you buy.

Here is a tip...you want to buy where the truckies shop and from a dealer that has drums on the floor.
AND....sometimes you wont get the best price over the phone...you have to walk in...it helps not to look too clean and soft.

cheers

Hi Michael,
I have heard that there are a lot of feed pipes involved in a bypass filter
which can get hooked up if you start doing any off road driving, what can you advise ?

Cheers

Hi Danny, With everything you add to a vehicle, you have to use some commonsense. There are two small rubber hoses running from the filter and these can be tied to other cables that run from the firewall or inner guards to the engine. There are plenty of vunerable parts that are exposed to sticks etc. Michael.
