[C320-list] Oil Filters

[ronniew326 at aol.com]

I also agree with Karl's comments on filters.  But you can't go wrong  with 
the WIX oil filters.  The correct WIX filter for the Yanmar 3GM30  is part 
# 51334.

Orange  Engine has cut away filters so you can see the difference between how the 
two  are constructed.  The WIX looks far superior to the  Fram.

Pat,

If you think you opened a can of worms on synthetic  oil, wait until you  
see the feedback on filters!!

Here is  what I wrote awhile  ago....

Also,  a call or email to Mack Boring Co. might give you their take on the  
 
synthetic oil comments you have been receiving...
