We have got into this before, and i forget the correct pressure releive valve. But since 284 brought it up i will mention it. Some have said that the correct filter that screws on is not right i think it is Hoye's own site (aaron i did not double check if im wrong sorry and dont hold me to it) as well as some members here.
Bottom line is that if the releive setting is to low these machine i think get higher oil pressures than say a honda civic which filter may screw on but once put on if the oil is bypassing becsuse it sets the filter off because the filter media is too restricitive or something your not filtering at all!
I know your in the UK so its not economical to order from a US company. But this is the reason i order my oil filters from HOYE. They have them made to the yanmar specs, there $19.99 for a 3 pack and with the price of gas ordering a few items quicly becomes worth not having to drive to town! Anyway, i think the better quality wix filter from carquest will run me around $6 at least it does on the saturn/toyota/ briggs filter i buy there which looks the exact same although its not. Anyway three $6 filters plus tax im up to what Hoye charges and i dont have to worry about releive setting filter media, or is it a fraction of an inch to long so my drag link busts it when i turn all the way!
ok i see a make of filter here called purex for the ym1500 so will check it out and let you all know thanks
