I purchased a Charger in early November that has a Honda 225, just in time for my work life to go crazy so it's just sitting there, teasing me. Over on the Mercury thread (previous motor, nothing but problems, pretty sure it was a lemon) the moderator says to use "nothing but Mercury OEM components" for maintenance. I'm finally able to start the maintenance upgrades you would normally make with a used boat(water pump impeller, LU oil, engine oil and filter, etc) and I noticed that the oil filter is Mercury brand. Is this what everyone else uses or do you stick with Honda stuff. Also, anything I should be looking out for regarding the motor? It seems to be in great shape but I don't know what I don't know about Honda stuff.
Thanks
