Mercury – Engine Oil Filter | Powersports Series | High-Burst Canister & Hex Nut | 8M0130363

Overview

If you’ve spent enough hours behind the bars of a Harley-Davidson motorcycle—or any machine that works hard and runs hot—you know how much trust you place in something as simple as the oil filter. It’s not flashy. It doesn’t make the bike sound better or pull harder. But it’s the quiet piece that keeps everything inside running smooth and steady, mile after mile. That’s what the Quicksilver 8M0130363 Engine Oil Filter delivers: confidence.

Performance & Practical Benefits

Good oil filtration shows up in the feel of the machine. The throttle responds a little more eagerly. The engine settles into a smooth rhythm instead of sounding strained or dry. The Quicksilver 8M0130363 helps deliver that experience by keeping contaminants out of circulation and maintaining proper oil pressure from startup to shutdown.

The anti-drain-back valve makes an immediate difference. Instead of the oil draining down into the crankcase overnight, leaving the engine dry for the first few seconds, the valve keeps oil in the filter. That means lubrication is instant the moment you hit the starter—no rattling, no hesitation, just clean protection when the engine needs it most.

The high-burst-strength canister holds up under real-world punishment, whether you're riding long highway stretches, hammering down rough trails, or leaning on the throttle during hot-weather climbs. With the integrated hex nut, removing the filter becomes a simple, frustration-free step instead of a knuckle-busting chore. It’s a small detail, but it’s the kind Harley and powersport owners appreciate because it makes routine service go smoother.

Why Buy OEM

With something as critical as oil filtration, cutting corners never pays off. Genuine Mercury-engineered filters are built to exacting specifications, ensuring consistent performance and long-term dependability. Aftermarket filters can look similar but may use inferior media, weaker canisters, or valves that don’t always seal correctly.

Choosing this OEM-standard Mercury Marine part means:

• Reliable filtration designed for your engine’s needs
• Strong build quality able to withstand heat, vibration, and pressure
• A direct-fit part that installs cleanly the first time
• Long-term protection that helps extend engine life

It’s the practical, seasoned choice—one any experienced rider or mechanic will stand behind.
