Oil & Fuel Oil Filter

[clemsonfor]

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.

Yoou can also run your tractor for years without changing the oil, same in your vehicle mostlikely both without problems but why risk doing it?

Has anyone ever had a no-oil engine failure on a Yanmar? (while there was still oil in the crankcase).

If you want to spend the money ($14-$16) depending on where you buy it, K&N lists a filter for the YM276 which I would think also fits my 2310 among others. Part number is HP-8032. Autozone sells K&N oil filters but I didn't see this number listed on their web site.

Not yet but I recently had a close call with a no oil failure with no oil in crankcase when my oil gage sender nipple broke.

Yanmar part, or aftermarket?

 

[Car Doc]

Mine was 100% dumb me it was not Yanmar parts at all that caused that but with that said Yanmar doesn't make lots of the other things I installed either including the oil filter. :thumbsup:

BeenThereDoneThat. I tore the wire off the oil sender in the brush. The red light on the dash didn't mean anything but it was still unnerving to drive back to the barn with it on.


Really, the point I'm pushing is: I think an unmodified Yanmar is the most reliable of all. Experimentation can satisfy our curiosity, but I'm not convinced we can improve on the designs. Oh - and I think Yanmar used a lot of off-the-shelf maintenance parts that are broadly used, and are available everywhere. If it is in some reputable filter maker's catalog that's good enough for me.

 

[Car Doc]

Oh absolutely they know whats best thats agreed bro! The light on even knowing it was false alarm would drive me nuts too!

For instance I am a Toyota fanatic I could be a poster person for them.

I have spent the last 20 something years working almost exclusively on them and being amazed constantly at a car company that cares so much about design and engineering like they do they absolutely ROCK! :thumbsup: (and I feel close to that way about Yanmar the more I am around their product)

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.
.

I'm not exactly sure, but I thought Fredricks had this done & Hoye buys from them.I know They had most (if not all)all the engeneering work done on many other parts including ROPS. It could also be a joint venture type thing

Hmmm.
