Since I dont have a Yamaha dealer near me, I went to Boaters World to find a Yamaha oil filter for my 60hp 4 stroke ( 2004). They had a Fram oil filter that was listed in their Fram catalog as a replacement. Fram PH6017A for $9.99.
Wal-Mart has the same filter in their motorcycle section for $6.74. Apparently Yamaha uses the same filter for all of their small 4 stroke engines
( motorcycle, atv, outboard).
The question is ... should I be leery about using a non Yamaha oil filter as far as warranty? I know that the Yamaha oil filter is a lot more than $6.74.
Am I shooting myself in the foot to save a few dollars?!
Wal-Mart also had a Mercury Quicksilver oil filter that would also fit the Yamaha for $7.86.
What do you think?
