Author	Topic:   Mercury 90 HP 4-Stroke Oil Filters
Barney	posted 08-14-2004 07:49 PM ET (US)         Ever wonder about getting your oil filter for your Mercury 4-Stroke somewhere else besides Mercury. Especially if the local Mercury dealer doesn't keep what you need in stock. After a little research the Mercury filter matches to a Yamaha filter since it is a Yamaha powerhead. The Yamaha number, found online at the Yamaha website, matches a Yamaha motorcycle filter also found online. Interesting, and you can match that online to any number of after market filters. I went to CarQuest who had a filter instock. Jim

Barney	posted 08-14-2004 07:59 PM ET (US)             yep it did. Jim
Barney	posted 08-14-2004 08:14 PM ET (US)             also should say it worked fine. Jim
Uncle Pug	posted 08-14-2004 08:42 PM ET (US)          Great! Care to share the research results ~ what is the part number?
Barney	posted 08-14-2004 09:12 PM ET (US)             Ok here it goes: Yamaha 5GH-13440-00-00 Purolator ML 16819 CarQuest 85358 Sierra 18-7914 Each of the above filters will probably have a different length. But the diameter is the same. Put in the Yamaha # into Google. That is real interesting. I have other numbers but am solid on the above. Other filters worth a check: WIX 51358 AC 2057 NAPA 2358 Fram PH 6017A and 6607 AMSOIL SMF 103 Jim

Barney	posted 08-17-2004 07:23 PM ET (US)             The 60 HP Yamaha 4-Stroke uses the Yamaha #5GH-13440-00-00. Looks like the same filter on the smaller Mercury/Yamaha 4-Strokes. Jim
Donzi	posted 08-19-2004 01:14 PM ET (US)             I purchased my oil filters for my 90 hp Mercury 4-stroke directly thru Mercury online, and received it within several days. Cost was $9.24 plus shipping. Buy the spark plugs elsewhere since they are too pricey on their plugs. http://www.mercurypartsexpress.com/PartsExpress/ProductSelection/ServiceParts/PartSelectionframeSet.asp
Barney	posted 08-19-2004 04:50 PM ET (US)             Donzi, Not really staying on topic but how did your plugs look, what was their condition? I found them online for $3.10, but I have bought them yet. Jim
Donzi	posted 08-20-2004 02:27 PM ET (US)             Barney: my plugs looked fine, but I replaced them since it was running rough around 1500 rpms. I had it serviced under warranty and they adjusted the idle mixture screws in the carburetors and now it runs much better. Hard to synchronize four carburetors and the mechanics dread the task. Next motor will be fuel injection for sure. Regarding spark plugs, seems like your price is good. Mercury's price is lower from the time I checked before and is now $3.21 which is very reasonable.
big bad ford	posted 05-27-2006 12:47 PM ET (US)             I found them [spark plugs? oil filter?] at [an online retailer] for $5.99 each.
Knot at Work	posted 06-01-2006 02:07 AM ET (US)             Barney (jim) is simply too good of an engineer to except no as an answer.
handn	posted 06-01-2006 11:32 AM ET (US)             Oil filters for my 2004 Mercury 225-HP EFI four-stroke motors are over $30 from Mercury and only a dollar or two cheaper from Yamaha. This is an unreasonable price for something that can be manufactured for almost nothing. Is there an aftermarket equivelent filter?
