Mercury – Quicksilver 822626Q15 Oil Filter | Mercury & Mariner V-225 V6 4-Stroke Outboards | 822626Q15

Overview

A clean oil filter means a longer-lasting engine. The Quicksilver 822626Q15 Oil Filter is the same one Mercury uses at the factory, made for V-225 V6 4-stroke outboards. It keeps your oil clear of debris and helps your motor start smooth every time.

This filter’s got the details that matter: a thick, corrosion-resistant shell for strength, an anti-drainback valve that keeps oil in place between starts, and a high-capacity filter element that traps fine particles before they can circulate through the engine. It’s a simple swap that protects your investment.

Performance & Real-World Benefits

The 822626Q15 filter does more than just strain oil — it protects critical parts during every start-up. The anti-drainback valve keeps oil from draining back into the crankcase, so your bearings get instant lubrication when you fire up the motor.

Its thicker housing resists pressure changes and rough conditions, while the filter media grabs even the fine grit that sneaks past weaker filters. Replace it on schedule, and you’ll keep your oil cleaner, your engine quieter, and your boat running like it should.

Why Choose OEM

Mercury’s OEM filters are made for their engines — matched for flow rate, pressure, and fit. Cheaper aftermarket filters might look close, but they often use thinner shells or smaller filter elements that can clog faster or leak under pressure.

A genuine Quicksilver filter fits right, seals tight, and gives the same protection Mercury designed into your outboard from day one.
