Cant find filter replacement for WIX or Fram HP 6 !!!!!!
AMSOIL HELP ???????????????? |
If I am running 540s, 700 hp. Change the oil and filter once per year, 20-25 hours. Do you still recommend Amsoil or Mobil 1? Or, should I keep using the Wix Racing filter?
Planning on moving from racing Valvoline 40 to Mobil v-twin oil. If this makes a diffenence on filters? Thanks. |

What type of engines?
Swapping out HP6s at 10 hours and complete oil change at 20. I am not criticizing your break down of filters at all. Just from my perspective, I want flow #1, Big stuff filtered #2, Little stuff #3. . |

700 HP engines...stick to what you are using I would think....maybe sacrificing some folw for siltration is better to be on the safe side. How often to you freshen the engines. Planning on moving from racing Valvoline 40 to Mobil v-twin oil. If this makes a diffenence on filters? Thanks. 25% of folks use something like a Wix Racing 1060R/Fram Racing (especially on bigger engines). 25% go with the Mercury HP Racing 25% go with a filter that is basically a synthetic fiber 10 micron filter 25% go with an "off the shelf filter"...paper filter ... |
I won't freshen for approximately 200 hours. Or, until I see a loss of power. I have about 50 hours on them now.
So you are saying stay with the Wix Racing Filter? Using in conjunction with Valvoline VR1 currently. |

Hydrocruiser, what do you recommend on the 700sci? I was told the Wix 57003R was the OEM for Mercury. They are $120 shipped for a case of 6 vs. $65 ea. from the dealer.
Mercury also recommends Kendall GT1 racing 20w50 in the 700sci and specifically says not to run a synthetic. Is the Kendall oil any good and why not run a snythetic? |

Not sure why Merc does not use synthetics as many big engine builders do. If the concern is that there is a myth? fact? that synthetics do not protect metal after shutdown and corrosion may occur...motorcycle oils are extremely corrosion resistant. It may be why many like M-1 V-Twin? |
