Re: Oil filter comparison
GaryCinn, I would also like to applaud your dedication to finding out an answer to your/or a question, asked by many. <br /><br />I recently posted a question about this and asked one of the Mercruiser Techs about this as well. His answer was the difference, was in making sure that the filter not only matched, but allowed Oil Flow, "Bypass" in case the filter plugged. <br /><br />While I was there, I just purchased (2) Mercruiser Oil filters, and (2) Mercruiser fuel filters. The first thing I noticed was the new filters were white, and the ones that came on the motor, new, were black. He said they change colors and the letter on the end, about every time he makes an order for them. <br /><br />Kind of makes you wonder, but I do run longer filters on my vehicles and like the extra filtering capacity.
