looking for an off the shelf oil filter

[jfb]

I have an 1988 Mercruser (GM) 3.0L. <br /><br />I am looking for an off the shelf oil filter, Fram etc. to replace their Quicksilver 35-802885Q.<br /><br />I have tried three online stores, all were out of stock. <br /><br />Also, several sites do not sell to Maine where I live. Anyone know why? <br /><br />Any info would be great, thanks,<br /><br />jfb

DHP,<br /><br />I have ordered OEM from each Mercury Parts Express & from Mercruserparts sites. Both were out of stock. This website will not sell to my state (Maine)???<br />I have already drained the oil, the use would be temporary until my maintainence is complete. <br /><br />jfb

Fram PH30...... yea yall give me heck. Also you can cross to your brand (its the only part number on the top of my head). I say change regular. Im tired of this brand is better than that! Change regular. Most marine engine oils never get "dirty" THey get contaimated with acids from combustion and moisture.<br /><br />Mercury marine does not build oil filters. If you like go to NAPA as Bondo said and get the sierra brand, I believe its a Wix filter.
