Ploos1 Posted August 4, 2020 Report Share Posted August 4, 2020 Help needed once again. My 1990 boat has an Isuzu 3kc1 engine (beta marine). The oil filter sold to me by my local car parts place is not right and leaks. A bit of internet searching has not really helped but narrowed it down to Fram Ph6811 or a Baldwin B179 as possibles. Have no old filter to check any numbers. Can anyone advise? Many thanks in anticipation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BEngo Posted August 4, 2020 Report Share Posted August 4, 2020 The Inline filters website has equivalents and OEM applications for both Fram and Baldwin. Either look up your engine and find a filter or the filters you think might be right and see if your engine is listed. N Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ploos1 Posted August 4, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2020 Thanks .... I will try inline filters. The engine has Beta Marine and Isuzu clearly labelled on it. Perhaps a forum member has a similar engine and could check for numbers on their filter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matty40s Posted August 4, 2020 Report Share Posted August 4, 2020 Beta are open in the morning. Get your engine number, and ask them, they will tell you whether it's one of theirs, and which filters to use if it is. They are very helpful people (now they are back from lockdown) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ploos1 Posted August 4, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2020 Thank you. Inline filters list this engine but will call beta as well. Problem seems to be solved ( or very nearly) ..... thanks to all who have taken the time to reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
