Thread: Oil Filter brands FFR ?

You need some details. What engine? What model?

thanks ah - Perentie FFR 1989 Isuzu - ?

I’ve only had my Perentie since March but I’ve done 2 oil changes in that time and have used the Fleetgaurd LF 3642 and it was around $38 I went to the local Isuzu dealer to get some fuel filters and thought I would price a genuine filter and to my surprise it was I think about $29 so next oil change I’ll be using genuine.

It’s my first time attempting it. Usually take it to klr but alas no travel! Now I’m having to dash into QLD and quarantine and don’t know when I’ll be back to do the car. It really needs coolant, steering fluid and at least the engine oil change. I assume it will be ok sitting idle until I return. Meanwhile I’ll keep researching the processes. Thanks for the info.
Any and all tips welcome no matter how basic- seeming. Fuel filters, access issues, idiosyncrasies etc?
Cheers

I have the 1990 FFR, KLR have all the gear you need for a service, just buying a few things from KLR myself, also British4wd in Tassie are good for parts.

Oil: Any quality 15W40. I buy a 20l drum and change engine, gbox and transfer at the same time. Castrol RX Super 15W40 is a good start point.

Oil filter:
LR - AYG 585
ISUZU - 8-94321219-1
BALDWIN - B7144
DONALDSON - P550422
FLEETGUARD - LF3642

I thought I would give a quick update. I serviced my Perentie on Tuesday, replaced the oil filter with a genuine one which was $30 instead of $38 that the Fleetgaurd is but the most surprising thing for me as I have seen it mentioned on this forum elsewhere is how quick the oil light goes out on the first start of the day. With the Fleetgaurd filter it was taking at least 5 seconds where as with the genuine one it’s half the time. I have no idea why maybe someone could enlighten me but it has to be a good thing.
Thanks Paul.

Super helpful - thanks! I’ll have to pay for this one but I’ll take some oil with me into remote Central Australia, and the tools for the oil changes.
