Re: A question on oil changes
I prefer to use a higher quality filter than a Fram.
Fram.com does have a good cross reference chart that can point you to any major manufacturer's comparable oil filter for your application. Sometimes filters are of slightly different heights, but will still work.
No reason to waste money on OEM marine filters that are the same as other filters with different paint.

Been using the Napa gold for several years, they are good filters. You're not running in dusty conditions so the filter capacity shouldn't be an issue.
