I am going to be buying a new 15hp yamaha or a 15hp merc 4stroke here very soon and i know what oil i want to run in them but i want to put the highest quality oil filter i can on my motor.Has anyone used after market filters like mobil 1 filters or something along that line in their 15hp outboard?

If u have can u tell me what brand it was and the part# if available.I know quite a few have to fit on these motors and i know they must be the same size i would assume as the original one on there.Well i hope i can get some help out here on this one,if not i can always use the factory oil filter.

I have nothing against the factory i just have been told to use a good high quality oil filter if u can find one that fits.I guess if it fits i could use it right?Or does it need some type of special filter?I know tons of people use the after market filters on bigger motors so i figured there has to be some that would work on the smaller outboards.

If anyone can help me with part# that would be great.Thanks for any help.
