Yanmar engine oil
 

I gotta believe that a smaller filter means lesser capacity for
contaminants. I wonder what the rationale is?

For what it's worth I just picked up a new oil filter for my 2GM. I
went to do the oil and filter change today and when I opened the new
filter it was about 2/3 the size of the old one. I called the dealer
to give him grief for selling me the wrong part and he told me Yanmar
changed the design. Glad I called it saved me a 50mi round trip.

Thanks Jeff,
I prefer specified parts, but I just haven't seen a part number nor do I
know where to buy the Yanmar filters. Thanks for the link. I don't know
why, but when I Googled Yanmar and 2GM20F I got nothing.

http://shop.torresen.com/ships_store...u=119660-35150

Special Note About This Part:
This part number is no longer available.
Click here for the alternative part number, Yanmar 119305-35151

Since that is in HTML, it will most likely be stripped by my ISP.

Try this:

The oil filter you want is no longer available and has been replaced.

Boring has Yanmar
parts. They make a ''spares kit'', there was one in my
boat
when I got it.

You should always carry at least two spare impellers. I
put one in
two years ago and it failed within ten hours - the vanes
spun freely
on the hub.

I have a new one and a good old one as spares.


Frankly I don't see why people buy the parts year by
year; why not buy 4 or 5 years worth and always know you
have a stash?

What if you sell the boat?
I buy oil filters by the case for my trucks, had 6 left over
when I switched from a Detroit to a Cat.
I still have filters for my '71 Dodge van. Anybody need
one?

Size doesn't matter. Just because it's smaller doesn't mean
it won't do the job.

At least that's what I've been told all these years.
