[C320-list] Yanmar 3gm30f oil and filter

[Rod Boer]

Hi Jack,

When I purchased Odyssey in 2000 I looked up the number for the Fram oil filter and I purchased ten of P/N PH3593A. In the interim before I used any of them I came across some negative comments regarding Allied Signals quality control for the filters and I had a problem with the Fram filters in one of my cars so I decided not to use them. The marina where I keep my boat sells Yanmar filters for the 3gm30f so I have been using them since.
