Troubleshooting & FAQ
How do I confirm that this oil filter fits?
Compare the reference number on your original filter with the listed Mercury, MerCruiser, and Quicksilver references: 35-55501, 35-60494, 35-806771, 35-805269, 802893, or 35-802893Q. Also confirm the filter's physical dimensions, gasket, and mounting thread against your engine service information.
Is this a Yamaha oil filter?
No. This listing is for selected Mercury Mariner and MerCruiser stern-drive or outdrive applications. Yamaha fitment is not specified for this product.
Is this an OEM Mercury or MerCruiser filter?
No. This is an aftermarket replacement filter intended to replace the manufacturer references listed on this page. Mercury, MerCruiser, and Quicksilver names and part numbers are used only to identify the applicable references.
How often should the filter be replaced?
Replace the oil filter during the oil-change interval specified in your engine's owner's or service manual. Service intervals can vary by engine model, operating conditions, and usage.
What are signs of an installation problem?
Oil leakage around the gasket, a loose filter, a damaged gasket, or incorrect thread engagement can indicate an installation or compatibility problem. Stop the engine and correct the issue before further operation.
What should I do if the original filter looks different?
Do not rely on appearance alone. Compare the original filter's reference number, gasket, mounting thread, and dimensions with the engine service information before purchasing or installing this replacement.
