    Doc, I asked somebody from the US to get me these two for my Innova D4D. I believe they have different dimensions and I'm planning to hoard that which fits perfectly on my ride. The B33 is a dollar more expensive than the BT223. I just don't understand how the latter is better considering it costs less. Btw, I tried to send you a PM but your inbox is full...

    The BT233 is a better option. If your buddy is in the states he can shoot me a email. I got a bunch of those filters, more than 50 less than 200 of them lol. So I can get you a better deal than any place online by about 50% plus I am running critical on space. They just need paypal.

    The BT223 is a bit bigger and has more sq inches of filter media. Both filters have the exact same micon rating as most all Baldwin filters do. The B33 will work but I find it kinda small and you want the biggest filter that you can fit in your vehicle the more media more grams of dirt it will hold.

    My box should be cleared out so feel free to PM.

    I read about Fleetguard's Venturi Combos. Is there anything from that line which fits our D4Ds?

    Funny you mention that, I just ordered a bunch of LF9028 filters which is the Venturi combo filter. The Balwin equivalent is Baldwin BD7317. Decided to replace one of my Full flow filters with this. These remove 4 times the amount of soot over a stratapore media filter alone. But it is a bit overkill for a daily driver.

    Here's the deal you need a adaptor to run either one of these filters and you need space for a Length of 7" 1/8 (181.0mm) , I have a remote filter mount kit so it's not a big deal. But I'm not sure if this would fit on the D4D engine due to size.

    But here is the adapter you would need and the only place that makes it.

    Bypass Engine Oil Filter Converter~1"-16 X 3/4"-16~New | eBay

    The other sizes these come in simply just won't fit most vehicles but with this adaptor or using a remote oil filter kit you could run it. You just might find the BD7317 in the Philippines since it's fits many refrigeration units and tractors and Generator sets.

    The Baldwin is the second best of the two but no where near the longevity of the fleetguard due to the stacked disk media it has. But it does filter at 5 microns but just does not hold as much dirt/soot. They are both excellent. And to give a comparison.

    The BD28 25 microns absolute and 12 microns nominal (single pass = 50%) so it's 50% efficient at 12 microns which is very good.
    The B7317 is 50% efficient at 5 microns so you see the difference.

    Here they are cut open side by side.



    The fleetguard is very unique




    But if you have the space for one of these to fit and can get someone state side to get you the adapter then you will have the cleanest oil next to a full blown bypass system which is only 98% or so at 2 microns but very expensive.

    You can get 20k to 30K between oil changes with dino CI-4 oil and up to 40k with full synthetic. The B7317 is much cheaper than the fleetguard and the best bang for the money out there if it fits. These two filters are the new favorite of Dodge Cummins truck owners.

    But with the D4D your most likely going to need the full remote filter kit like I have but you would only need it for a single filter not two filters like mine which is total overkill it's triple over kill now that I am adding the new Venturi Filter.

    Here is my 2012 oil rant just a combination of things that I have been researching and reading on oil ratings and the dismal turn of events that have lessened the protection of oils to meet environmental standards.


    Due to things like the EPA and other enviromental agencies of countries our automovite oil is providing less and less protection for our engines. Epsecially high performance engines such as DOHC, diesel engines, and older motors designed to run on the proper levels of zinc and phosphorus of their time. Some oils make up for the reduction of zinc and phosphorous with other friction modifiers like moly and boron but some do not and those are the really bad oils.


    Looking at API ratings with the 1200 ppm to 1400 ppm of zinc and phosphorous fully formulated CH-4 or CI-4 is what you want to use in most vehicles if you want the best wear protection for your engine.

    Understanding the label on the oil is not easy. Oils that are xW-30 and thinner can be rated SN
    or SM and must have between 600 ppm and 800 ppm of phosphorous. They could be rated SL and have up to 1000 ppm of phosphorous.

    But if there is a CI-4 in front of the SL (CI-4/SL) there is no limit on the amount of phosphorous and zinc,
    and a fully formulated CI-4 oil made with synthetic or group II+ base stock will typically only
    have about 1350 ppm of zinc and 1200 ppm or so of phosphorous. With a better the base stock,
    less additives are required for the same performance, and, the API classification is based on performance, not additive content. If there is a CJ-4 in front of the SN, SM, or SL, it is limited to 1200 ppm of phosphorous.



    CJ-4 Oils: The listing of oils as CJ-4/CI-4/CH-4 means they have the reduced additive levels for low sulfur diesel fuel. The makers are allowed to say they replace CI-4 in diesel engines in the United States where the sulfur level has been reduced to 15 ppm.

    That does not mean they can replace CI-4 oils in countries where the sulfur level
    remains high (15,000 ppm in some to 500 ppm in others like Canada for on road and no limit
    for off-road). It is my understanding that Europe is now at 10 ppm.


    The question of why CJ-4 can replace CI-4 when the sulfur is below 15 ppm is frequently raised, and it is due to the reduced need to combat the formation of acids and the way the sulfur breaks down the additives in the oil. The development of the CJ-4 oils was not performance driven, but emissions driven. The CJ-4 oils protect the catalytic converters on the latest designs of diesel engines, but the high level of ZDDP in CI-4 oils can, over a period of 300,000 miles or so, damage the catalytic converter, especially if the engine is burning oil or either base oil or the additives used are the cheaper more volatile ones. CJ-4 oils also have to be changed more frequently.

    Examples of the Reduced amount of zinc in the new SN oils.
    Mobil 1 5W-30 SN: 800 ppm
    Mobil 1 Extended Performance 10W-30 SN: 800 ppm

    Energy conserving oils
    The energy conserving classification in API approved oils checks oils against a known oil to see whether it is more slippery (less friction). This reduction of friction is through reduced viscosity and increased friction modifying additives. Since the friction modifiers or better base oils reduce the dependence on ZDDP, sometimes it can be reduced as well, but it does not have to be. So just because it says “Energy Conserving” does not mean it has reduced levels of ZDDP.

    If you want the maximum valve train protection, look for an oil that is certified CH-4/SL or CI-4/SL without CJ-4. If the CH-4 or CI-4 comes before the SL, that is fine. Oils that are only SL certified have much less anti-wear additives.

    The SN oils are not the end of the world. They are better than 50 years ago, but not as good for engines as a CI-4 or even a CJ-4. They use ashless antioxidants and better base oils than a lot of other oils. Wholesale price of an SN is about 12% higher than an SL because of this difference. The no-ash antioxidants make up for the phosphorous
    reduction in oxidation and the blend of better base oils improve the hydrodynamic cushion, reducing the time the engine is in mixed or boundary lubrication.

    If you have been using a low quality oil and move up to a CH-4/SL or CI-4/SL with 3000 ppm to 3200 ppm of detergent, don’t be surprised if it smokes a little for the first 3000 miles or so. It will clean up some of the deposits in the ring grooves and pistons, improving the cooling and ring movement. Once that has burned up the smoking will stop.

    Forget the myth that you can’t switch over to synthetics in an older engine. Any formulation on the market today is totally compatible, and the better formulations will not only give you better shear protection and cold weather protection, but will clean up the sludge around the seals, allowing them to be softened to their normal size by the oil.

    Forget the myth that synthetics cause leaks. The formulations of decades ago were pure PAO (group IV) that had poor solvency and tended to shrink seals. All of today’s formulations have esters or other ingredients that make them totally compatible with the seals, and the better ones will actually reduce leaking after a couple thousand miles.

    Forget the myth that multigrade oils have higher consumption or “oil burning”. The reverse is true. Tests show multigrade oils have up to 30% less consumption than single grades in the same engine.

    There is nothing wrong with changing brands or viscosities. They are all compatible. But I recommend finding a brand that you are confident with and sticking with it to receive the full benefits of that formulation.

    When changing brands, remember that some of the previous brand remains in the engine. While this is true of all engines, You will not get the full benefits of the new formulation until the 2nd oil change. If every oil change is a different brand, you will never get the full protection.

    Be careful of the term “Semi-Synthetic”. There is no standard on its use. It is legal everywhere I know to put 1% of a synthetic oil in the cheapest mineral oil and call it semi-synthetic. I know of one brand that calls their products semi-synthetic because of the synthetic polymers used for viscosity control. Some brands use base oils so poor that they need a percentage of synthetic just to get up to the minimum performance standards.

    Bottom line the best oil to use for your vehicle if the other friction modifiers are not know in SN, SM or SL oils is to use CH-4/SL or CI-4/SL rated oils. With this your know your getting a nice healthy dose of friction modifiers for the best possible engine protection.

    New studies show that zinc will reduce your converters life about 25% but what's more expensive a new cat or engine repairs it's a flip of a coin on this one.

    Nearing 25k pms, makikita na natin yung loob ng baldwin . Nagtanong ako ng wix sa superior motors, walang pang 4d56. Next in line sana yung wix para madissect din natin after use. Anyone who knows kung saan may makuha?

    Wix filters on the other hand is sold Superior Motors 3741737. It is near Quezon Ave.

    from what I have researched these are the two consistent high quality filters even in the US
    Ito pala distributor ng wix.

    Went to MOA yesterday and found out ACE is still selling fake Purolator filters. No country of origin and only plastic is at bottom, very poor print label on the filters as well.

    Very informative oil testing. Some of these brands you might know well. Some had disappointing results. Having some strong second options about Motul and Shell after this test. Motuls additive package looks good on paper as far as Zinc and Phosphorus but did not perform well at all. I prefer this testing over the 4 ball method many use since the 4 ball was designed for gear oils not engine oils. Timken is for bearings which is more related to engine internals. Royal Purple comes out pretty good in this test.
