Oil Filter for 700 Sci
 

Time to change the oil, dont want to pay 57.00 for a Mercury marine oil filter. Tried crossing the Mercury part # with Wix, Fram, and Amsoil. Looks like a HP-6 Fram. What oil filter will replace it?

NAPA 1069R. Much better than Fram.....

Wix or Purlater or Merc HP oil filter..should only cost you about $11.. merc part# 35-16595Q is $11.55 list...they are all the same

You dont keep buying new boats for long if you pay $57.00 for $9.00 oil filters. Mercury has gotten enough of my money. How many boats ran Tims run? Your a lucky S.O.B., you will need that money to buy 2 Stroke oil.:D :D

Must be different oil filters. Merc part # on the filter is 35-840634k01. But thanks anyway.

I bet its a reg size,this is the big one

The EU662 , HP700SCI, HP850SCI all use that expensive filter..not sure what the deal is..it may have something to do with the dry sump oil lube system they all use...but that is one VERY expensive oil filter!

is it the same as a HP6 size?

So what is everyone using in place of the Merc. Racing filter, P/N:35-840634K01? I need to either order (2) of these BIG $$ filters or use a good alternative?
Thanks,
Dean

Is the WIX P/N: 51222R a good alternative to the Merc Filter?
Thanks,

I have a couple of these filters on ebay with a starting bid of $40 with free shipping in lower 48.

Not sure what is considered bad taste on this site, so if this post is against forum rules please accept my apologies and delete this post. Just trying to help those out who want to run this mercury racing filter and make a few bucks myself. I will be adding several other Mercury parts over the next week or so.

Thanks for looking!

WIX 51222R. I can get them for $27.

You need to make friends with a buddy at a Napa.

What price can you get?

I bought some about 6-8 months ago it was alittle under $16.I remember a few years back he said Napa's cost showed $9. I have a buddy thats the manager of a Napa here,I just paycash on one of their fleet accounts,Like "Jackson Ms public schools" etc.

Just cked today with Napa 19.88 billed thru Pensky.

Carquest has them also.

Those are good prices. I'm always looking for better prices on WIX. I got that original price from my easiest source. I never checked with my one WIX supplier that I normally use. I'll have to check those out though!
Thanks!

Take a wild guess who makes Mercury's filters for them!
Bingo! You win!
So bad for me letting that profit out of Mercury's bag ,EH!

And when I was researching fuel water separators/high flow fuel filters, Wix said they have the filter made for them,cant remember the company,they just put there Wix sticker on them:drink:

Whats the diff on a wix 57003R versus the 51222R

looks the same size

Maybe the sticker is upside down:drink:

Advanced Performance Oil Filters use a media (T-10) that is rated at a Frazier air flow of approximately 267 CFM and is wire-backed. The unique wire-backing provides a very stable base for a media blend of fiberglass, polyester and cellulose. This media is resistant to high temperatures and water levels in the oil that can plug standard media types. Our Advanced Performance media (T-10) is designed to provide a high positive oil flow with low restriction.
High Efficiency Endurance Oil Filters use a media (T-71) rated at a Fraizer air flow of approximately 75 CFM. This media contains a higher resin content than our Advanced Performance Filters to trap and hold smaller contaminant's and provide higher efficiency.

51222r.......T71 filter media
57003r.......T10 filter media
Everything else is the same. Except the price.

57003R versus 51222R
