Troubleshooting & FAQ
How do I confirm this filter fits my engine?
The most reliable method is to match the part number 35-816168 from your existing filter or service manual. While this filter fits many Mercury/Mercruiser engines, precise application data is limited.
What are the signs of a clogged oil filter?
Common symptoms include a drop in oil pressure, engine sputtering or poor performance, and noticeable metallic sounds from the engine. Regular replacement is the best prevention.
What is the recommended replacement interval?
Always follow your engine manufacturer's service schedule. A general guideline is to replace the oil filter every 100 hours of operation or at least once a year, whichever comes first.
Can I install this filter myself?
Yes, changing a spin-on oil filter is a common maintenance task. You will likely need an oil filter wrench, a drain pan, and fresh oil. However, professional installation is always recommended if you are unsure.
