oil filter for 250 verado

[klotzy]

My friend just changed his oil on his verado. Can he use a regular fram or auto filter instead of buying mercs filter.

I'm not sure Fram offers one. Verado filters have specifically thick cannisters because they are prone to cracking from vibration. The guy pays several grand on the motor and now he wants to cheap-out on a stupid oil filter? Pure Foolishness!
