Oil Filter Question

[DocDoom]

Anybody running the oil filter shown here?

Yamaha Genuine OEM Marine Outboard Oil Filter Yamaha Part# 5GH-13440-71-00 Genuine Yamaha Part - Pack of 1 https://a.co/d/2vBNKqh

(I think the 70 is a replacement for the 71 and that's what showed up)

... It screws in place alright, but the fitment on some sites says it's alright for the VMAX 1200 and others say it's for the second gen. I didn't find any specs in the service manual for it... Dunno if the marine part is relevant either. Today I learned I know nothing about oil filter specs.

So, for anyone else who might encounter this question.


It would appear that even though the specified filter is listed for outboard applications and certain sites like RevZilla/partzilla/v star perf show it only working on Gen 2 vmaxes ..

Yamaha has the following part

Which when considering the chain of supersession:

Is why very few but awesome websites have the correctly listed part:
