I have a bunch of Hoye filters to use up for now, but in the past I have found my YM240 (US version YM2000) listed among US tractors in the Napa, Autozone, Wix, or Baldwin oil filter listings. It's a common Japanese car filter, as I recall the same # as my Subaru.
Somebody who wants one should go look this up, and share with us what they learn.

Yea i know you can find the 240 listed in the filters at carquest and napa etc. I got my fuel filter there for the ym2000 this way. But if hoye is saying that the most common filter folks are useing is the wrong media etc. One would think this is that filter that folks are getting at Napa or carquest and all the crosses as thats the easiest thing to get "wix" which they both sell and makes the house brands. I wish we knew the most common filter he was referring to. I know he dosent want to slam a brand and also wants to sell filters so i cant blame him. I also dont think he is lying either. Hoyes filters are $20 for three thats pretty much the same price as carquest for me but the shipping makes them pricy if thats all you need. i try and put one order a year to Hoye and anticipate what i may need as far as maintence goes. The shipping is not bad if you figure they come to your house and you dont have to buy gas, but i dont make a special trip to the parts store either i pass within a mile of one on my way home so i just drop in.

i did the same when looking for filters for mine. apparently the b227 has a similar micron and valve rating compared to the OEMs and the sakura is similar to that again. should go a lookin around to see what i can find. my filter guy has a fair range of cross reference books for these with the spec's so i might just go see him.

yeah i agree BUT..... it needs to have a bypass valve in it, petrol(gas) engined filters dont have them.
The Wix or Napa filter sights list all the pertinent information about their filters. Thread size, relief settings, micron rating, etc, etc. I confess I use a filter not from a Yanmar parts dealer but almost feel a little guilty about it. I don't think the dealers are getting rich selling oil filters.

I agree not at the price hoye is selling them for. Especially considering he supposedly had them engineered and built for him. That im sure was a huge tens of thousands of $$ investment.
Like i said i buy carquest filters when i dont get the oil change special with a purorlator at Advanceauto. There cheaper line is in the $3.50 range and the higher quality for the toyota and the saturn i have is in the $6.oo range. So 3/$19.99 is right in line with the better filter i listed.

I don't care what Hoye or anyone says, if you've used a filter(s) without issue for a few years, then none of the rest matters. The oil you use is much more important.
I've never heard of an automotive filter not having a pressure bypass in it.. They all do.

I believe there are numerous auto filters without by passes. Here is an example. If you click on the oil filter it will show the specs.WIX Filters : Filter Look-Up
