I was at Wally World today and was checking oil filters for my boat. A few months ago, WalMart apparently switched suppliers for their Supertech line and now the shelves are fully stocked(here) with the updated models. I popped their "ST-5"(Fram PH5 equivalent) and compared it to the Mercruiser and found them to be IDENTICAL in every respect. Internal structure, material, numbering...everything but the specific ID and paint. Oh...the price as well. Bought the Supertech for $2.84 whereas the Merc was going for $9 and $13 at the local "Fleet Farm".
I've run Supertech filters in all sorts of engines through the years and have found them to be very reliable. Same goes for their oil. Always have had very good oil test results from Blackstone labs...
