I want to change my boat engine oil (10Wx40), and install a new oil filter,
my problem is I don't know what type oil filter is on engine ?
The engine is a 2001 MerCruiser 4.3L V6.

What type filter should be used ? I don't want to remove current filter, until I'm ready to perform the oil change.

Can I use a automotive type filter, or does it require a marine spec. unit ?

Thanks !
