[C320-list] 3GM30F Oil Filters

[Karl Mielenhausen _/)]

At the risk of opening a can of worms, remember that just because a filter  
fits, doesn't mean it is well suited for this application.

Commonly used substitutes for the "official" Yanmar 119305-35151 are:
Fram PH3593A
Fram HP15
PureOne L14459
WIX 51064
NAPA 1064
and perhaps many more.

The Yanmar, WIX, HP15 Fram, and, I believe, the NAPA all have higher burst  
pressures and a higher bypass pressure that Yanmar mechanics have  
indicated are necessary.
Of course, I have heard of the official Yanmar filters also bursting  
(albeit in a much larger engine) but do you really want to save $2-3 here?

I'd be interested in hearing about our owners first hand experience with  
any of these aftermarket brands.

In the meantime, Bay Shore Marine (one of the displaying vendors at last  
weekends Regatta) has some of the best parts prices I've seen. For  
example....
