Oil Filter recommendation
I need to know what the best oil filter is for the merc 525's. I have M1 15/50 syn oil I'll be using. Had a hard time locating the oil. I've heard good stuff about the M1 and WIX filters. Part numbers would be great too

Re: Oil Filter recommendation
What took you so long? Got any part numbers for the NAPA filter? Just picked up the 15/50 synthetic at Wally's. I went to 15 different stores before I found it, and I took the very last quart!

napa Gold 1060 rings a bell...
but then again I hear alot of chimes and bells in my head...
I think I listened to Floyd's "Time" too many times under the influence years back.
If you get my meaning...

I've always used the mobil red cap 15/50 (that apparently is no longer available) and the matching Mobil M1-302 filter. I've only been able to find that filter at Auto Zone.

Re: Oil Filter recommendation
Thanks for the input. Another OSO'r contacted me about this too. I will be conacting Vandy021 tomorrow for availability. He owns a Mobil distributorship here in Ft. Wayne. You should see his Cig! Can you say SWEET!
