[C320-list] #10 Oil filter for Yanmar 3GM30F-YEU

[Jeffrey Hare]

Yanmar seems to change the oil filter they specify from time to time.  The
new filter is really tiny compared to the one that came stock.  My John
Deere tractor (with Yanmar) when through a similar oil filter "downsizing" a
couple years ago.  The new one is half the size as the original.  Didn't
downsize the price unfortunately...

I too change the filter every 50 hours. Interesting too that my yanmar uses
the same oil filter as my wife's car. An STP S2808 from Auto Zone

I went through the same question earlier this year. I put about 100 hours
per season on my boat and have run they new smaller filter this entire
season. I  change oil and filter every 50 hours which is about once in
mid-season and then  at the end of the year. So far I have not had a problem
with the new filter. I  asked the Yanmar people at the Annapolis about it
and they said that there was  just as much filtering capacity in the new
filter as the old.
