[C320-list] Oil filter

[Monte B.]

Don't care what filter you use or what oil, RTFB (read the frigging book).
If you use the engine a lot use the hour meter for the schedule and if you
rarely see your boat, use the calendar. The key to engine life is routine
maintenance and it does not know the difference between Delo and Yanmar.
Fram has sold more oil filters than Yanmar can buy and most don't fail. If
your goal is peace of mind on your boat make your boat maintenance log read
like the maintenance schedule and there should be very little doubt if you
have covered the bases.

My boat is a 2004 and about 2 seasons ago when I went to my local Boat Yard
/ Yanmar dealer I found that the physical size of the oil filter had been
reduced by about 1/3. Seems very small of course you only have a little over
2 quarts of oil that you are filtering. I change my oil and filter every 50
hours.

If it's any consolation, on my 440 it has a 75hp Yanmar and the oil filter
is 
small as well...in talking to Boatswain's Locker (West Coast Dist), they
said 
it's standard for Yanmar

Orlando -
 
Not that I don't trust them, it's just that I've gotten some critical parts 
recently that were incorrect.
 
I guess I can check out the Yanmar wesite. Good suggestion.

So you don't trust your parts dept?

Does the Yanmar website give you any insight?

I recently bought my first Yanmar oil filter, tiny little thing. My parts 
department said Yanmar reduced the
size. Can someone confirm that it is smaller than a normal filter, Part # 
119305-35151? This is for a
3GM30F.

Thanks,

Paul
