Oil Change

I changed the oil and filter today on my Delica L300 4D56 diesel.
I put 6.5 liters of 15W-30 and a filter from a delica parts store ($25+$15 shipping),
found the crush washers on Amazon and ordered a pack. The main hindrance was the darn oil plug which did not want to loosen. I eventually stumbled upon the solution to put a car jack under the socket wrench handle and lift,
which worked great and provided the leverage I could not.

Re: the oil filter. They can be had at auto parts stores/Amazon so you don't have to pay shipping.

WIX 51067 which is the exact same as NAPA 1067 but cheaper.

Also fuel filters
NAPA 3128
WIX 33128

And air filters
NAPA 2222
Wix 42222
 
I'm new to oil changes and about everything mechanic (this thread is great), so I need to hop in to ask if what I'm collecting is true as my engine is different from what has been mentioned perviously. I'm driving a '94 star wagon.
This is my gasoline engine: http://mywikimotors.com/mitsubishi-4g64/

-Wix 51067 oil filter
-New gaskets (MD050317)
-10W-60 (https://amzn.to/3hX2L7k)
-4 liters of oil to fill it up

While I'm shopping, will the Wix 42222 air filter & Wix 33128 fuel filter also work?

NONE of the filters for the diesel's cross to the 4G64... this is the correct oil filter (US spec, and crosses to it).

How to find Parts and Part Numbers

First, find your van's chassis/frame number (not the VIN, if you have one). (Where to find it and what it means post here). Example: P25W-0514652. If your van has a VIN then you'll need to get the chassis number from the build plate that's under the carpet flap.) Then enter that frame number...

L400 version would be a godsend! In the meantime what fuel and air filter would you suggest for a 1994 L400?

I got a few of those off SpareKorea (263304A001) and posted elsewhere on the forum wondering about some measurements ... does it filter as well as a WIX or OEM filter? No idea. But I've had no noticeable oil loss or obvious drips from the oil filter specifically ... although coincidentally (or not? probably not I believe ...) I need to take a look at that area since I do now after winter vacation have oil falling onto the oil filter from either turbo or P/S pump. Regardless 263304A001 fits and didn't kill my engine after ~5,000km it's probably totally fine.

The price on Amazon though? I would probably just get some WIX filters thru RockAuto since pricing is close/same; the spare korea price for several with another parts or two was ~10-15 CAD/ea for 3 filters.
