It is a direct replacement for Mercury OEM part 35-866340K01 and fits the full range of MerCruiser GM gas-powered sterndrives and inboards, including the 4.5L and 6.2L Mercury engines. Note that V-6 models with the oil filter mounted directly on the engine block use a different filter location and are not covered by this part.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Racing Series designation is not just marketing. This filter uses heavier gauge materials and a higher-grade filter media compared to standard replacement filters. The construction is specifically engineered for the demands of a marine environment, where heat cycles, extended run times, and the consequences of oil system failure are more serious than in a typical automotive application. A standard automotive oil filter can technically thread on, but it is not built for what a marine engine puts it through.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThread specification is 13\/16\" x 16 NPT, which is the standard thread used across the MerCruiser GM engine lineup this filter covers. Always verify your engine's thread spec before installation if you are unsure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis filter crosses directly with the following part numbers:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMercury OEM: 35-866340K01\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSierra: 18-7824-2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOil filter changes on MerCruiser engines are straightforward and should be done at every oil change interval, typically every 100 hours or once per season, whichever comes first. Using a marine-rated filter like this one rather than a generic automotive substitute is one of those small decisions that pays off over the life of the engine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNormalized SKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3557870\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC Code:\u003c\/strong\u003e 840080493381\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"EMP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54397034922289,"sku":"EMP-35-57870","price":10.21,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0015\/7184\/8291\/files\/emp-oil-filter-gm-3-0l-4-cylinder-35-57870-840080493381-1241043129.jpg?v=1780311366","url":"https:\/\/www.firstchoicemarine.com\/products\/emp-oil-filter-gm-30l-4-cylinder-35-57870","provider":"First Choice Marine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
