I will change the oil filter on a boat engine (Volvo Penta). Which brand is the best?

Question

Also, can car oil filters cause any problems? I have cross referenced a Sierra with Wix, K&N, and Purolator. Would those cause any problems or would you stick with a "Marine" oil filter. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Use any one you want, they are the same. I like Fram, then from your list Purolator.

Answer 2

Any top line of filter will be fine.I prefer Fram.

Answer 3

the best way to go is to stick with a marine oil filter because they are designed for water cooled boats and the oil is not as dirty as a car oil is because there is not alot of road dust on the water
