Not sure which way this tread went. The 600 sci and the 700 sci, do not use the same oil filter. Or at least the 600's we had, and 700's we now have don't. The 600's you can cross with a Fram HP 4.

SO a Wix Racing or Fram HP series is what they spec for?

600 sci
I have in my hand a merc oil filter off my 2008 600 sci motor
#35-840634k01 merc part # (that is the correct part # as its the same on the new one i just put on boat sat.
its about 4 1/2 " wide 6 1/4 tall with a 1 1/2 " thread opening
I just changed oil last weekend . In checking with wix based on measurements
the # 57003r
# 5122r both look the same size as the merc filter

Mercruiser cross numbers for K&N filters....

Cross for more filters..

So my research found that the 600 Mercury #'s cross with a Fram HP-4 = Wix 51060R = K&N 07-0029 = MOROSO 22460
If I were fortunate to have a pair of 600's I would go with one of the filters above as they are built for "Racing".
I would probably use the K&N filters. As the new ones have really outstanding flow and capture as well. The MSRP is $14.00 and Autozone and PepBoys have them for around $10.00.

I like what Moroso is saying here...a balance of flow and filtering..27 micron filtration (I think Wix was 60 mics if I recall.) This Moroso filter is in my mind equal to a K&N... lots of flow...proper engine oil pressures...max. engine life. Not that Wix is a bad filter or anything.

The 700's cross with a Fram HP-6 = Wix 51222R, 57003R, = Moroso 51222R, 57003R. M0bil-1 501; No K&N #'s.
I think we hav it nailed for the 600/700 engines...agree?
