Troubleshooting & FAQ
Will this filter fit newer Yanmar 6LPA-STP2 engines?
Yes. This filter is a direct equivalent for the superseded Yanmar part number 119773-55710-12, which is specified for all 6LP and 6LPA series engines, including the 6LPA-STP2, 6LPA-STZP2, and 6LPA-STZP3 models.
What is the difference between Yanmar part 119773-55510 and 119773-55710-12?
