Can anyone tell me what oil filter I need? I have a 6.2 N/A in my boat, I don't know the exact age but was told it was early nineties
Before it went in the boat a friend sprayed it (and the oil filter) so I cant see any numbers on it, anyone know a fram part number
Thanks all
BTW it runs sweet, noisy, but sweet :)

If you have a few extra inches of clearance under the filter, Wix 51794/NAPA 1794 would be my choice because it lets you put in about an extra quart of oil. Baldwin B7 is another one.

My 83 6.2 C-30 calls out a Fram TG5.

.....All this assuming you have a standard "over the road" oil filter adapter. If it isn't standard equipment, or if it's remote, all bets are off.

Also, friends don't let friends use Fram.

True, and every remote adapter I've seen, except for the 4.3l V6, used Wix 51515 filters. It's definitely a possibility.

They are known for not filtering very well.... I like the Baldwin's myself..

That's the standard GM filter, it crosses to both Wix 51060 and 51061. IIRC the former is meant for vertical mounting and doesn't have an anti-drainback valve, the latter mounts horizontally and does have the valve. If you have room I'd definitely run 51794, an extra quart of oil never hurts a 6.2l.
