When I bought my boat about 6 years ago, it had a Wix 57241 oil filter. I have been replacing it with the same every year. I found it on Amazon. I see now that Perkins has their own filter. The only problem is that the shipping from the UK costs more than the filter. What oil filters are you using on your engine? Should I go with OEM?

Wix is a reputable filter manufacturer, could stick with them. Perkins does not make filters, they re-brand a filter that they have made for them. The wix is likely better than the oem

Continue with the Wix you have been using. OEM filters are just rebranded filters from some other manufacturer. My Yanmar fuel filters are really Racors. The Wix website has a good cross-reference page.

Another source I have found reliable and less expensive than marine stores is Baldwin filters. I can replace all three filters on my Westerbeke for less than the cost of a racor at the local chandelry. Baldwin has a website with a comparison chart and store located. It's worth a try and I have never had a problem with leaks,
fitting them or the quality of the product. Your boat your choice.

I just received an email back from Baldwin. I have used their filters and have found them reasonably priced and fully functional.

Here is their response for the oil filter on the TMD22A engine.

Yes, we cross that filter number to our B7291, and I have included the specs for your reference.​

Thanks for all the replies and the options. I've had a hard time finding a cross reference. I'll check out these leads. Baldwin looks promising but I think it should be a metric thread.

Well the filter came today from amazon,. It's a Mann 713/28W in a Wix 57241 box . Maybe this will help someone else.

Was it from Amazon or an independent seller? I'd return it because it was obviously not delivered as advertised. The Wix website has a list of dealers.
