as the specs for my car are z313
seam dia 106mm
overall/h 127mm
seal 70mm
thread m26x1.5-6h
and the oil filters in the 3.2 are z372
seam dia 105mm
overall/h 151mm
seal 70mm
thread m26x1.5-6h
as i service a few pajeros and im thinking 1 filter to fit all
i will be getting a bigger filter so more filtration for me 2.5 and the pajeros benifit by mass buying (cheaper filters)
just need to see if it fits in my engine bay i dont see why it wont as there looks like plenty room there..
thoughts??

Just do the oil change every 10k yourself and get the mechanic to do the vehicle check over. You will still save $$

I would use the same oil if it's a quality oil. Are the oil listed above filly synthetic? The Penrite hpr diesel 10 and 15 and delo 400 sae 15w40? I dont mind if its 7500 or every 10000 i just wanna start saving some money and also be a bit more hands on when it comes to certain car servicing. Cheers

What is a higher/newer spec than CF? I've notice that both Mobil1 ESP 5-30 and Castrol Edge DPF 5-30 which are both ACEA C3 rated oils are also CF?Aussie wrote:personally I would not use an oil with a diesel rating as low as CF, i think the last time we sold that spec was to Noah.

Also, if you don't have a DPF, be careful not to use an oil designed for DPF equipped vehicles, and vice versa.
