    OEM is all I use and can get them at any Mercury dealer or forum sponsors like European Marine.

    I order everything except fluids through Don for my annual maintenance. If you spend more than $100 you get 10% off and free shipping.

    NIS?

    Filter has been replaced by a new part number (which is readily available, plenty of them on hand).
