I know not to use the cheap repco filters on expensive engines, but what about running them in, should I still use a genuine filter?
As for oil, whats a cheap oil that isnt too cheap quality?

It a fresh engine, so the only thing it will be blinging up is my rubbish bin after like 800km or something.
This is why im contemplating getting a cheap filter, but maybe the fact that it is fresh makes it even more vital that I use a good filter.

Get a Fram or a Valvoline filter from Super Cheap, most cases they are cheaper than repco's cheap Ryco filter.

I think your filter is a Fram PH4967, same as a Valvoline VO7 (if I can remember right).

id just use a genuine filter.... $20 is nothing compared to the cost of your engine....

by **ChaosAD** » Fri Jan 21, 2005 6:32 pm

They only 20 buka? at that price i'll get you to send me a few of them. I always thought they were like $50 or something. Goes to show how misinformd you can get from reading stuff on the internet.

well TS rate is a little less than that..... $50? some diesel ones get close to that... but not 4age ones!

What about oil, should I use some of that cheap caltex stuff in the grey container for like $15? or a good/reasonable quality non-synthetic oil for about $40?

Mobil used to make a proper running in oil. IIRC it was a straight 30 grade so either try fing someone who stocks it or Pennzoil and Penrite make a 30 grade so I would be goin with them.

Oh and lawnmowers use 30 grade oil 2!! :lol:

If your engine has been assembled using a moly/graphite
assembly paste, you should change the filter after the first
half hour or so of running. This stuff can block the oil filter media.

If you cut open a repco filter compared to a toyota filter you'll never use a repco one again. There is quite a bit of difference.
