  • Oil filter F200 and F150

    Maybe I just suck at the search, but can't find any discussion here (surprised, so guessing my search-fu just sucks :/ ) on oil filter alts to the Yammy OEM. When I did the 100hr service on my 2016 F200 I used Mobil1 M102 filter based on internet discussions (that I can't find now of course).

    What's current conventional wisdom re: using the Mobil1 filters vs Yamaha OEM?

    Thx

    from what I've seen, "conventional wisdom" is one of two positions:

    - "you paid so much for the engine - its stupid not to protect your investment with OEM"

    or

    - "brand (insert name) is the best! that's what I use"


    I suspect for a tech working in a Yamaha authorized shop, its a no-brainer - use the OEM.

    And personally, if my engine was under warranty, I would use OEM -

    if only because Yamaha (AFAIK) doesn't provide the detail on their filter
    that would allow me to prove equivalence to another brand.

    But since my engines are long out of warranty,
    I use any good quality brand that matches the size, gasket and thread,
    and that has an anti-drainback valve.

    IMO, changing the oil at 100 hours means there's not really much for the filter to do anyway

      and that has an anti-drainback valve. quote

      How do you know if the filter has this valve?

      I bought a filter for the Ford Focus 2 liter that supposedly is an exact fit for the F150 Yam OEM model.

        the major filter brands publish detailed technical info for every filter, Google eventually turns them up

        as I said, I don't know that the Yamaha filter has one -

        but - IMO - its "good to have" - and no downside

          Yamaha does not use an anti-drainback filter. I have cut more apart than most folks. I use Yamaha brand cause that is what we stock. if iever had an issue arrive I can call Yamaha.

            Interesting to know.

            So I can't entirely blame them for the mess I make, changing my filter

              interesting.
              So it wasn't their intention for me to make quite such a mess, changing the filter

                They do have a diaphragm in them.
