hey all,
thought I'd start a thread with the brands and part numbers of filters for the 300tdi..
so far im using:
engine oil: (5000km) Donaldson P550008 ,this is the Z9 eqvilant, about $9, made in Indoonesia. After I use the 2 more I have ill probably go to the Fleetguard version as its USA made and a dollar or so cheaper. There is a much better, synthetic media filter, by Donaldson P169071. Also one by Fleetguard. Be carefull as these 2 are longer and could touch the front axle housing at full bump.
Fuel Filter: Fleetguard FF5135 made in china , I would prefer the Bosch version but dont know where to get it??
Air filter: Donaldson P182052, a better than stock filter.
so lets here what you use or wont use and how often you change them.
cheers,
Serg
