filters for service

[thebrod]

Hi Nixon

I don't know what others are doing with their fuel filters, but I change mine every 2nd service unless I have reason to think that I may have got dirty fuel and then I'd do it at each service. It's pretty cheap insurance compared to replacing an injector pump, or injectors.

Thanks Adam. How often do you & others recommend changing your Fuel Filter (diesel) ?

Change mine every 2nd service, so approx every 10k

Thanks. Have had felt the effects of a dirty filter previous - not good on a highway when overtaking a B double and cough cough, loss of power. Sensing that I need to be a little more regular.

[Nixon]

Thank you. I had better get into that habit as well. I have been a little slack.

Was under the impression that genuine filters were recommended over after market. I think the reference document explained why with some filter test results.

It's a good ebay deal though. I'm looking at my next service (which will be my 1st patrol service on the CRD).

This is what I thought and stick to as well. Local repco bloke even strayed me away from buying their oil filter and said go up the road to Nissan and buy a genuine one.

Can't remember exactly his reason but he did say if I ever get a chance cross cut the genuine and and their one, and you will see the difference . So I don't know...

I wish it were different. I have a sister who works for Donaldson... So cost price

The original filters aren't that much more expensive from what I've seen & considering how much we spend to protect our engines and fit NADS etc, saving a few bob on filters isn't logical.

[QUOTE=thebrod;605382]Hi Everyone

Getting organised for doing a service on my ZD30 in the next few weeks.

Went to Supercheap today and priced up the filters :
Ryco Oil filter $34.50
Ryco Air filter $39.99
Ryco Fuel filter $38.50
Totaling $112.99 + oil at $90 - $100 for a 10 liter tub.

So then looked on ebay and found this:

Opinions????
What is everyone using?

Might want to get a K&N filter well 2 really and keep one oiled and ready to go.
That will save you some money depending on the Ks you do and where

Ryco put a kit out including the A/c filter for $100 thats for 5 filters.
