New oil filter study released
I posted a few months ago regarding oil filters for boats. I have updated the site to include a ton more filters and more data.
www.OilFilterStudy.com
There is a section at the end for Merc boat recommendations.

Re: New oil filter study released
So, is it better to have more flow and less filtering capability, or vice-versa? I would think that flow would be more important in a marine environment, especially when you consider that boats usually don't go as long between oil changes as cars do.
Also, seems like I read on this site in the past that the WIX filters have the synthetic filtering media. It was mentioned that this is better in a marine environment because the non-synthetic media clog up if any water is introduced into the oil. Neither the Wix that was tested OR the Merc have the synthetic media - interesting. Anyone care to comment?

Let me know if I read the study right. It appears to me that the Premium Purolator (not PureOne) has good filtering capabilities, and excellent flow. That seems to be the only one that has both, and would be the best choice?
