Technical: Isuzu 42 Servicing Info

Posted by indigodream on 8 January, 2013

This is a reference page for the parts I regularly need for servicing the engine and also somewhere for me to store copies of the engine manuals etc. For filters etc I like going to Allpartszone in Croydon, very helpful, excellent service, competitive pricing and very good at looking up obscure references. Their advice is to use Mahle filters as they think they are better quality so my shopping list for the next service with Allparts references and cost in January 2013 is:

Air Filter:  Isuzu Part No. 100066-4LS OEM References:  FRA CA5315 or Cooper AG 294 – Allparts Reference: CA5315  – £5.01 – 1 No.

Supplementary Fuel Filter:  FRA C1191PL  – Allparts Ref KX23 – cost £3.54 – 2 No.

Main Fuel Filter:  Isuzu Part No. 897172-5491 OEM References:either Baldwin BF954 or Donaldson P553240 or Fleetguard FF5030. Note these are all a fraction longer then the Isuzu part so slightly more awkward to remove with my style of filter wrench.  Allparts Reference: KC5 – Cost £4.24 – 1 No.   Amendment: May be a Baldwin B1425 according to this link (Cost £7.28)

Oil Filter Isuzu Part No. 894456-7412 OEM References: FRA PH6811 – Allparts Reference OC205 (or OP617 if not available, OC205 is the Mahle reference) – Cost £3.10 – 1 No.

Comma 20W50 CC Engine Oil: £12.48 for 5 litres – 1 No.

Costs last time I looked in a Chandlers but note for Isuzu parts not OEM: Air Filter £9.66, C1191 Filter £3.50, Main Fuel Filter: £16.32, Oil Filter £9.30, Engine Oil £26.50. January Allparts costs recorded as I think the first two filters have gone up in price but still amazingly competitive when compared to Isuzu parts from a chandlery.

    Yes but what about Beta parts. The Fram parts from Midland Chandlers are equally pricey and there must be cheaper generic alternatives.

    No idea! Send me your parts list and next time I am in there I will leave it with them and get them to look up alternatives and a price, I think they do mail order? Otherwise I think Joe on Yarwood has been into a car parts place somewhere on his travels and may be worth talking to as I think he got an amazingly good deal for Beta filters.

    I use Baldwin (http://www.baldwinfilter.com/) there is a good comparison search, simply type in what you have & their alternative is then shown.
