Oil Filter

Oil filters are an essential component for ensuring the longevity and efficiency of your Evinrude, Johnson, BRP, or OMC engine. A superior quality oil filter acts as a protective barrier, effectively trapping impurities, metallic debris, and sludge that can accumulate during engine operation. By preventing these harmful particles from circulating in the lubrication system, the oil filter protects critical internal engine parts, such as pistons, cylinders, crankshaft, and bearings, reducing wear and preventing costly damage.

A clogged or inefficient oil filter can seriously compromise engine performance. The decrease in oil pressure caused by a blocked filter can lead to insufficient lubrication, resulting in increased friction, overheating, and accelerated wear of internal components. Regular oil filter replacement is therefore essential to keep your engine in optimal condition and prevent premature failure.

When to Change Your Oil Filter?

The frequency of oil filter replacement depends on the engine's operating conditions and the manufacturer's recommendations. In general, it is recommended to replace the oil filter every 100 hours of operation or at least once a year, preferably before winter storage. However, if you use the engine in harsh conditions, such as in turbid waters or with frequent accelerations and decelerations, it may be necessary to replace the oil filter more frequently. Regular oil change intervals are also important.

Always verify the correct part number in your engine's manual to avoid compatibility errors. Use our model search system or, if in doubt, contact our team of experts providing us with the model and year of your engine. We will be happy to help you identify the correct oil filter for your needs.

Frequently Asked Questions about Oil Filters for Marine Engines

What happens if I don't change the oil filter regularly?

Failure to replace the oil filter can cause a build-up of sludge and impurities in the engine, reducing lubrication and increasing wear on internal components. In the long term, this can lead to serious and costly damage, such as seizures and breakdowns.

How do I know which oil filter is right for my engine?

The safest way is to consult the owner's manual for your Evinrude, Johnson, BRP, or OMC engine. There you will find the correct part number. Alternatively, you can contact us providing us with the model and year of your engine and we will be happy to help you identify the right filter.

How often should I change the engine oil and filter?

The ideal frequency is indicated in your engine's manual. In general, it is recommended to change the oil and filter at least once a year or every 100 hours of operation, whichever comes first. Clean oil and an efficient filter are essential for the health of your engine and for optimal performance.

Can I use a non-original oil filter on my Evinrude/Johnson/OMC engine?

Although there are compatible oil filters from other brands, it is always recommended to use original Evinrude, Johnson, BRP or OMC oil filters. Original filters are specifically designed to meet the needs of your engine and ensure optimal filtration and superior protection. Using non-original filters may compromise engine performance and void the warranty.

How can I properly dispose of a used oil filter?

The used oil filter contains used oil, which is considered hazardous waste. Do not dispose of the used oil filter in household waste. Take it to an authorized collection center or a mechanic's workshop that handles the proper disposal of special waste. In this way, you will help protect the environment.
