I changed the oil filter on my ‘18 Mercury 90 four stroke outboard. So I've ran this filter model on my outboard for the last 2 seasons And when I ordered my new filter this year the website says "call/email text line for a possible filter recommendation". Website no longer just says use this EaOM 103. So I emailed the tech line and their response was if I've used this filter number in the past on this outboard it will be fine. (So why not just recommend this filter on the website like in the past?)
New filter is on the LEFT. What I noticed was it's taller with a plastic center cage with wire backed media VS the old had wire backed media and just a louvered metal center tube. Obviously more holes in base plate also.
Wondering if anyone can tell who makes the new filter vs who made the old filter?
Pics aren't very good of the inside but you can kinda see the black plastic cage inside of the new filter. Thanks
