Performance & Practical Benefits

A quality oil filter can make a bigger difference than most folks realize. With its fine 20-micron media, this filter works hard to catch the tiny debris that can accelerate wear inside your engine. Cleaner oil means your engine runs smoother, responds better, and stays healthier over time. You’ll feel it most when you’re running long distances or putting in a full day on the water—the engine just feels more settled, more dependable.

Installation is simple and straightforward, even for boaters who prefer doing their own maintenance. The gasket seats cleanly, the filter threads on smoothly, and the overall design feels solid in your hands. Once installed, it holds up to the heat, vibration, and moisture that come with marine use. It’s the kind of filter you put on and trust for the whole season, knowing it won’t let you down when conditions get tough.

Why Buy OEM

Choosing an OEM-grade filter is one of the smartest decisions you can make for engine longevity:

• Meets Mercury Marine’s strict engineering and durability standards
• More consistent filtration performance compared to many aftermarket alternatives
• Designed for marine-specific demands such as moisture exposure and elevated temperatures
• Helps prevent premature engine wear and oil contamination
• Fits correctly the first time, reducing the chance of leaks or installation issues

If you’re investing in a boat, you should protect the engine that keeps you on the water.
